Eric TrumponX / Twitter9h ago
Since being acquired by China, @Forbes has become a political weapon and an embarrassment to journalism. Just over a year ago, American Bitcoin did not exist. 7 Months and 25 days ago we went public on the NASDAQ. Today we hold over 7,000 Bitcoin and stand as the 16th largest publicly traded Bitcoin company in the WORLD, supported by a fleet of nearly 90,000 miners, 28 exahash of capacity, and utilize the finest American energy. In Q4 alone, we increased the Bitcoin on our balance sheet by 58% and mined at a 53% discount to the market price of BTC, reported $78.3 million in Q4 revenue, a 22% quarter-over-quarter growth. We have arguably climbedΒ  the β€œTop 100” rankings faster than any company in the space and continue to aggressively mine and scale daily. This narrative - no different than when Forbes spent years attacking me for simply being a young kid who poured his heart and soul (with a record breaking 9.2% cumulative expense ratio) into saving dying children at St. Jude Children’s Hospital β€” is insane does not read as journalism… it reads as politically motivated propaganda. Friends - educate yourselves as to the source of your information β€” in this case, China!

Analysis Summary
Eric Trump defends American Bitcoin's business performance and attacks Forbes over critical reporting, falsely claiming the magazine has been acquired by China. The company did go public in September 2024 and the Q4 metrics stated are unverified but plausible; however, Forbes has not been acquired by China β€” it remains under family and private equity control. The comparison to past coverage of Trump's St. Jude work conflates legitimate business criticism with personal attacks, and the 'Chinese acquisition' claim appears designed to delegitimize critical journalism rather than address the underlying Forbes reporting about shareholder losses.
Claims Analysis (6)
β€œForbes has been acquired by China”
Forbes is a private company owned by the Forbes family and Elevation Partners. No credible evidence of Chinese acquisition exists.
βœ• False
β€œAmerican Bitcoin went public on NASDAQ 7 months and 25 days ago”
American Bitcoin Group went public in September 2024. Timeline roughly matches the stated date from April 28, 2026.
◐ Mostly True
β€œAmerican Bitcoin holds over 7,000 Bitcoin and is the 16th largest publicly traded Bitcoin company”
No independent source found confirming current Bitcoin holdings or ranking as of April 2026. Claim may be accurate but cannot be corroborated.
? Unverifiable
β€œQ4 revenue was $78.3 million with 22% quarter-over-quarter growth”
Specific Q4 financial figures not independently verified. Would require access to recent earnings reports.
? Unverifiable
β€œForbes spent years attacking Eric Trump for his work with St. Jude Children's Hospital”
Characterization of Forbes coverage as 'attacks' is subjective. Coverage may exist but framing as harassment is argumentative.
πŸ’¬ Opinion
β€œForbes is politically motivated propaganda owned by China”
Forbes ownership and motivation claim contradicted by documented corporate structure. Characterization is rhetorical, not factual.
βœ• False
