1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news, lots of news in 2 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: crypto today. Greyscale Investments filed publicly for an IPO. It's 3 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: the latest crypto link company to test public markets under 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: an administration. More open to digital assets from more on 5 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: crypto and bitcoin and bitcoin mining specifically joining us now 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: and name familiar to our audience, Eric Trump is the 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: co founder and chief strategy officer of American Bitcoin. It's 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: a publicly traded bitcoin mining and treasury company. It's got 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: a market cap around four point four billion dollars. The 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: company started trading on the NASDAC back on September third, 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 1: when it merged with a microcap shares. It a high 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: on September ninth. They're down around forty seven percent since then. Eric, 13 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: of course, also the executive vice president of the Trump Organization. 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: He joins us from Florida. Eric, good to have you 15 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: on the program again. How are you God, It's great 16 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: to be on. So if somebody wants exposure to bitcoin, 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: why would they do that through American Bitcoin rather than 18 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: just buying bitcoin outright on an exchange or even through 19 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: an ETF. 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. 21 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 3: I mean, if you go out and you buy bitcoin 22 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: on ETF or you buy it on an exchange, you 23 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 3: kind of have one to one bitcoin. Right. You go 24 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: out and you buy one bitcoin, you're always going to 25 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 3: have one bitcoin. Our entire ethos is increasing bitcoin per share. 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 3: Right now, every day we're mining bitcoin, we're mining bitcoint 27 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 3: at roughly fifty percent of spot prices of bitcoin, so 28 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: roughly about fifty six thousand dollars per bitcoin. That's what 29 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 3: we're able to mine at. We're able to mind because 30 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: we have the best facilities anywhere on Earth. We've got 31 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: some of the cheapest energy anywhere on Earth. We do 32 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: it in America, we do it in West Texas. So 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 3: right now, our average costs to produce a bitcoin is 34 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 3: roughly fifty six thousand dollars and we're mining bitcoin twenty 35 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: four hours a day, seven days a week. By doing that, 36 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: you're able to increase bitcoin per share, right And that's 37 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 3: the ultimate metric that we chase every single day. How 38 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: do you increase the amount of bitcoin you have per 39 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: share you have of stock? And I think we can 40 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 3: do that clearly. If you go buy on a one 41 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: to one basis, you don't have that ability to do 42 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: And that's the one metric that we track every single day, 43 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: and that's the one metric that we try and improve 44 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 3: every single day. 45 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: And we've done a healing job, guys, I mean we you. 46 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: Know, this public was founded on March thirteenth, I'm sorry, 47 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 3: March thirty first, roughly five months later, five months and 48 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: three days to be exact, we were listed on the 49 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 3: Nasdaq under ABTC. We're less than three months old having 50 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 3: been listed, and we're already well for past four thousand 51 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 3: bitcoin that have either mined or that we've accumulated, making 52 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: us the twenty fifth largest BTC public treasury company in 53 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 3: the world, and we're a climbing that ladder very quickly 54 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: every single day. So I couldn't be more proud of 55 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 3: what we've been able to accomplish. And you know, everything 56 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: that you said, I think you mentioned four and a 57 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 3: half billion dollar market cap, and again we've been listed 58 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: for less than three months and growing, you know, growing 59 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: by by, you know, kind of with lightning speed. 60 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: You mentioned the cheapest source of energy in mining that bitcoin. 61 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: Last time we spoke back in September, we had a 62 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: discussion about wind energy that that powers some of this mining. 63 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: Is it still wind that's powering the mining operations for 64 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: American bitcoin. 65 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: There's resources. 66 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 3: But certainly when there was a defunct wind farm, you know, 67 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 3: the guys over a Hot eight, which is our sister company, 68 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: were able to lock into incredibly cheap energy because frankly, 69 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: it wasn't being utilized, because it wasn't being pumped into 70 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 3: the grid, and lock into a very cheap contract for 71 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: a very long period of time. And so we've got 72 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 3: unbelievable renewable energy that we're using to mine our our bitcoin. 73 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 3: But you're gonna see a lot of other energy sources. 74 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 3: Come on. I mean, we're on the the energy revolution 75 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: in this country. I think you guys know that better 76 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: than anybody. Look at oil, look gas, you know the 77 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: policies are working. Look at these SMRs. Look at you 78 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: know kind of fusion reactions. 79 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 4: Well well well, well well wait a minute, Eric, because SMRs, 80 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: I mean, we we do know. We're on it every day. 81 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 4: And these small modular reactors, none of them are up 82 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 4: and running. And anybody we talk to you who understands 83 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: the nuclear industry says it it will take a few 84 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 4: years to get them up and running. 85 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 3: Guys, absolutely, don't don't don't don't think that I'm saying 86 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 3: that they're up and running by by any means. What 87 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: I'm saying is we're in the heyday, you know of 88 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: power and power exploration in this country. Right now you 89 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: have an administration that's held bent on making sure or 90 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 3: this country has incredibly cheap power. Well, no, that's really interesting. 91 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 4: Let me just jump in there, because we've done a 92 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: deep analysis into the cost of electricity in twenty twenty five. 93 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: Electricity cost to pen far more on where you're located, 94 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 4: and a lot of it has to do with the 95 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 4: AI build out and the cost of those data centers 96 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 4: and tapping into the networks. You talk about Texas, I'm 97 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 4: curious what you're paying per megawat an hour in Houston 98 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 4: right now, it's twenty five dollars. It has gone up 99 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 4: a lot since twenty twenty. If you go back to 100 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 4: twenty twenty, it was seventeen dollars per hour. I mean, 101 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 4: you know, those elections. I don't want to get political, 102 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 4: but those elections, I mean part of it was electricity 103 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 4: prices that people Americans have had enough. 104 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: Caroly, you can't be serious, and honestly, I don't want 105 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 3: to argue on Bloomberg. 106 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: It's not what I came here to do. I've got 107 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: plenty of things to do in my daily life. 108 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 3: You had the last administration that had the greatest war 109 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: on energy that we've ever seen in the country. 110 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: Right. 111 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: You had an administration that was literally shutting down boiling 112 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: gas exploration daily. 113 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: They were shutting it down daily. 114 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 3: They were cutting every pipeline, they were stopping every pipeline 115 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 3: from being built. I mean, which ones do you want 116 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 3: me to name? I could go through a list of 117 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 3: fifteen of them. In fact, it was Joe Biden's first 118 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 3: executive order to shut down the Keystone pipeline. They shut 119 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: down all permitting, they shut down all transmission of oil 120 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 3: and gas. There was a war on energy in this 121 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 3: country the lights of which you've never seen before. You know, 122 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 3: we went from being energy independent under my father, or 123 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: we're exporting energy to countries all around the world, to 124 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: being energy dependent under Joe Biden. Don't even don't even 125 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: try and say, you know that we're not seeking the 126 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 3: lowest cost energies. They had power plants that they were 127 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: trying to build for a fifteen year period of time, 128 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,679 Speaker 3: nuclear power plants. 129 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 2: And guess what at the end of them. 130 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: Joe Biden's administration would turn them down and deny them 131 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: the permits for nuclear energy. Right, my father is hell 132 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 3: bent on making this country energy And the reason, hold on, 133 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: please let me finish. The reason he's hell bent on 134 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: it is if you track GDP, any GDP growth around 135 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 3: the world, and you directly correlate that with energy costs, 136 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 3: they're one hundred percent correlated. The lower your energy costs 137 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 3: are for production of energy, the higher your GDP costs are. 138 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 3: We have to win the war on cryptocurrency. We have 139 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: to win the war on AI. We have to win 140 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: these for a national security. 141 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: We have to win these. 142 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: Because we're the United States of America and we're the 143 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: number one superpower. 144 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: We must lead the way. 145 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: We need energy generation, and my father is hell bent 146 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 3: of getting that through every single form, whether it's natural gas, 147 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 3: and we're drilling, remember the slow maybe drill, And we're 148 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 3: drilling again, and we're exploring again, and nuclear power plants 149 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 3: are getting permits again, which was not happening. So please don't, please, 150 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 3: please don't talk to me about affordability. When you had 151 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: an administration that did everything they could to crush energy prices 152 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: for a four year period of time. 153 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: Erica, I respect your position and opinion on this, but 154 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 4: I also will say that the US is the largest 155 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 4: oil producer that's out there. I want to go back 156 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 4: to your company because on mining, we learned today that bitfarms, 157 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,559 Speaker 4: it's one of the largest cryptocurrency miners, set it plans 158 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 4: to wind down those operations over the next two years 159 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 4: focus on providing infrastructure to generate power for artificial intelligence applications. 160 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 4: We continue to see that a growing list of bitcoin 161 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 4: miners are pivoting to AI and high performance compute services 162 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: as profit margin shrink do in part to those falling 163 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 4: prices of the tokens are the digital tokens that are 164 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 4: out there. 165 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: Do you have any. 166 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 4: Plans for American bitcoin to pivot away from bitcoin mining 167 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 4: into artificial intelligence? 168 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: Now the exact opposite. We're only going to ramp up. 169 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 3: We're going to ramp up every single day. I mean, Carol, 170 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 3: you mentioned falling prices. Let me just kind of hit 171 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 3: on this one for you. You know, guess what bitcoin prices 172 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: were exactly two years ago from today. I'll tell you 173 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 3: because you would no, thirty six five hundred was the 174 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: cost of a bitcoin two years ago we are up 175 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty percent in a twenty five more 176 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: a month period the spot price of BTC. It's probably 177 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 3: the number one performing asset you know, of any asset. 178 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: And this is this coming. 179 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: From a guy who believes in hard assets, right. I mean, 180 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: I run one of the great real estate portfolios. Awhere 181 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 3: in the world. Cryptocurrency is absolutely on fire. Cryptocurrency is 182 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: taking on the world. 183 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: Well. 184 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 4: Bitcoin is up this year by about five percent, the 185 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 4: S and P is up fifteen percent, the Nazek one 186 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 4: hundreds up twenty percent, Gold is up percent this year. 187 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: No, I'm just do you want to reverse hold on, Carol? 188 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: Do you want do you want to reverse that? I mean, 189 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 3: do you want to go back two years? You want 190 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: to go back three years? You want to go back 191 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 3: five years, you want to go back ten years? 192 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 4: I had a diper smartly have gone up. 193 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 3: On average of about seventy percent a year year over 194 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: year for the last ten year period of time. All 195 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 3: I'm saying is, if you invested in BTC two years 196 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 3: ago is probably the best investment you could have made. 197 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 3: If you made invested in BTC five years ago, you 198 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: know you're sitting on. 199 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: Infinite amounts of money. 200 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: Right, BTC has been probably the highest performing asset of 201 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 3: the last decade. Right. And now also with BTC comes volatility, 202 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 3: With crypto comes volatility. 203 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: Volatility is our friend. 204 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 3: Volatility is something that should be harnessed, right, and so 205 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: I think bitcoin is going to continue to massively overperform 206 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 3: the markets. Of course, you're going to have draw downs, right, 207 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: I mean every cycle has draw downs. You're seeing you 208 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 3: were talking about Navidia, you know in the intro clip 209 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 3: to introducing me today, and how they're down four percent 210 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 3: to this one large companies on Earth, if not the 211 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 3: largest company on Earth, right, I mean that's down four percent. 212 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: You're going to have draw downs and things. 213 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 3: That's life. Now, look at the historical performance of an asset, 214 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: and nothing has compared to the Bitcoin. 215 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 4: Totally understand markets the ups and downs, and sometimes the 216 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 4: downs are an indication of either even moving down further. Hey, 217 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 4: one thing I want to ask you is I think 218 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 4: you're on with Bloomberg. Back in September, you owned about 219 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: seven and a half percent of the company. Has that 220 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 4: number change because it sounds I can hear your conviction. 221 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 4: It sounds like it's a long term conviction. When it 222 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 4: comes to the digital world and bitcoin in particular. So 223 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 4: are you buying more shares that. 224 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: That number has not changed at all. 225 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 3: I have every share that that I started this company with, 226 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: and I plan to for you know, a long time 227 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: to come. I love it, I believe in it. I 228 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: think the people that we're doing it with are the 229 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 3: smartest people in the world. We've got some of the 230 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: greatest energy contracts, We've got the most sophisticated facilities, and guys, 231 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,599 Speaker 3: what I'll tell you is, you know, I spend a 232 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 3: lot of time all over the world. I think you 233 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: know that from our real estate, you know, projects everywhere. 234 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 3: Everybody wants cryptocurrency. Everybody believes in cryptocurrency. Everybody's tremendously worried 235 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: about their respective governments. Everybody's tremendously worried about their respective 236 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 3: financial systems, especially when you leave the United States. You know, 237 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: people in so many countries around the world, they get paid, 238 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 3: you know, they may as well burn that paycheck because 239 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 3: of inflation. 240 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 2: It absolutely kills. 241 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: Them all of a sudden, you know, kind of you know, 242 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 3: Bitcoin is digital gold. People believe in it. It's great asset. 243 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 3: It's an asset that can't be inflated. It's an asset. 244 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: They'll only have twenty one million coins. Ever, you know, 245 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 3: the price of gold ever went to forty thousand bucks 246 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 3: an ounce. Guys, I would tear down this building and 247 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: I would find gold in the columns. I'd find gold 248 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: in the concrete. Right, you're gonna you're gonna, you know, 249 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 3: you're gonna dig deeper, and you're going to go farther, 250 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 3: and you're gonna spend more money, you know, So you're 251 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 3: never going to actually have caps supply. 252 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: With bitcoin, you have cap supply. 253 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: And I can tell you whether it's Asia, whether it's 254 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: Middle East, whether it's South America. You know, there is 255 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 3: a longingness you know, to treasury bitcoin, and you're seeing 256 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 3: that from even some of the very biggest companies in 257 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 3: the United States. They're putting it on their balance sheets 258 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 3: in ways that they've never done before because they believe 259 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: in digital assets and and they you know, they believe 260 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: in the attributes of them, right, you know, And again, 261 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 3: I'm a real estate guy. 262 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: I love assets. 263 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 3: But think about something that's you know, transferable twenty four 264 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 3: hours a day, seven days a week. Think about something 265 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: that's global. Think about something that's easier to transport. 266 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 4: You do love assets, and you guys, your family is 267 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 4: so entrenched obviously in real estate. You think Trump, you 268 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 4: think real estate. But I'm just curious if you had 269 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 4: to choose between owning real estate or bitcoin. 270 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: What would it be both? Both? No? 271 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 4: No, no, you have to choose. Come on, Eric, you're smart. 272 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 2: I grew up. I grew up when I was eleven 273 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: years old on construction sites. 274 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: Right. I clearly love tangible assets and I believe in them, 275 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 3: and I think bitcoin is is the greatest hedge towards 276 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 3: those tangible assets. You know that there is what I 277 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 3: will tell you is, in any place other than the 278 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 3: United States, I would probably take cryptocurrency. I mean, imagine 279 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: if you lived in one of various South American countries 280 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: or one of you know, various you know African kind 281 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 3: of countries that that have instability where government can come 282 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 3: in at any time and steal your house, steal your 283 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: piece of property, steal your hotel. Right, you don't have 284 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 3: a chance, you know, you don't. You don't have that 285 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 3: problem with bitcoin. You don't have that asset problem with 286 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: the assets that's you know, that's that's literally qualified on 287 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: Ledger twenty four hours a day. So there's there's a 288 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: real need for this asset class around the world. And 289 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 3: by the way, even in the United States, I mean, guys, 290 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: I became one of the most debanked persons, you know people, 291 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 3: you know American history, for having never done anything wrong, 292 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: you know, operating great golf courses, operating great residential buildings, 293 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 3: condominium associations, hotels, right and and and all of that 294 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 3: got pulled out from under me because my father happened 295 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: to wear a hat. I wasn't a politician, I've never 296 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 3: been politician. I've never worked for the government. For wearing 297 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: a hat that said make America great again, all of 298 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 3: a sudden, I started getting canceled left and right. You 299 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: know the interesting thing about crypto, you know, technology, blockchain, 300 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 3: pain technology, digital assets, digital wallets, can't cancel them. You 301 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: can't take them away, right, And that's a few little thing. 302 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 3: And there there's a flight to safety. There's a flight 303 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: to safety that a lot of people in America have 304 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: a harder time appreciating. Albeit when people see what happened 305 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 3: to us, they can appreciate more. But a lot of 306 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 3: people around the world can really appreciate. I think if 307 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 3: you lived in a lot of the Asian countries, you'd 308 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 3: appreciate it. I think if you live lived in a 309 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: lot of places, and let me ask you, just say 310 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 3: here in Africa, you probably appreciate that. 311 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 4: No, I understand what you're saying. And I think, you know, 312 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 4: we've been talking about cryptocurrencies for a long time here 313 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 4: at Bloomberg, and I think time will tell whether or not. Uh, 314 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 4: this is something that becomes well entrenched within our financial 315 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 4: system because at this point people are still buying things 316 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 4: like stocks and bonds. 317 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 3: Uh, and believe it? 318 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: Do you believe it? 319 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 3: I do? 320 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 4: But what I wanted to ask you is, and I 321 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: think it's something that we talked about in our planning 322 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: called do you do you feel like you know? Tim 323 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 4: asked about, you know, maybe the advantage of you know, 324 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 4: buying into your company vers is maybe a micro strategy 325 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 4: or something else. Do you feel like you guys do 326 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 4: have an advantage because of your proximity to the White House? 327 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 4: And I asked this full disclosure. When we talk about 328 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 4: Paramount's guidance, we say the same thing because we know 329 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 4: that David Ellison certainly is looked upon favorably by the 330 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,359 Speaker 4: White House when it comes to maybe doing another acquisition. 331 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 4: So do you think you have a little bit of 332 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 4: an advantage? 333 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, Carol, it's such a frustrating question. 334 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 3: Now, you know, my advantage is our our advantage with 335 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 3: American Bitcoin is we can mine bigcoin and fifty cents 336 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: on the dollar roughly, you know, and we're mining bitcoin 337 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 3: every single day any other And by the way, Michael 338 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: is a very close friend of mine, and there's no 339 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: person in the world you know virtually that I respect more. 340 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 3: He's an amazing human being, an incredible visionary and everything 341 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: he's accomplished. Our advantage to mining bitcoin is every single 342 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 3: day we mind a lot of bitcoin. 343 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: We do so for fifty cents on the dollar. 344 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 3: Go wen't evenother commodity you can do that with right 345 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 3: every other treasury company virtually out there, they have to 346 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 3: go buy bitcoin at the spot price at bitcoin that debt. 347 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 3: I can effectively go out right now and mine bitcoin 348 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: at fifty percent of that number. I can also go 349 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: out and I can acquire bitcoin, and American Bitcoin can 350 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 3: go out and acquire bitcoin. 351 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: At spot prices. 352 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: And guess what, as I do that, I can also 353 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: yield manage down pricing, you know, based on the bitcoin 354 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 3: that that we mind each and every day. Obviously, the 355 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: amount that you can mine is somewhat finite, even though 356 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 3: our mining operations are growing on a daily basis. But 357 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 3: that's a great advantage that I believe we have. We 358 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 3: can increase the amount of bitcoin for share of our shareholders, 359 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: and we do, and that's why we're growing as quickly 360 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,359 Speaker 3: as we are.
