Eric Trump & Asher Genoot to Headline Consensus 2025, Unveil Ambitious Bitcoin Mining Plans
April 17, 2025
In addition to American Bitcoin, Eric Trump serves as an advisor to Metaplanet, the largest bitcoin holder in Japan, and to Dominari Holdings, which recently invested $2 million in BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust.
Trump and Genoot will present on the main stage on May 15 from 1:15 pm to 1:40 pm, followed by a session at the Bitcoin Mining Summit from 2:15 pm to 2:45 pm, joined by American Bitcoin's CEO Matt Prusak.
Eric Trump and Asher Genoot will headline at Consensus 2025, scheduled for May 14 to May 16 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, marking their first on-stage appearance together.
During the event, Eric Trump will discuss his bitcoin mining venture, American Bitcoin, alongside Hut 8 CEO Asher Genoot.
Trump's interest in cryptocurrency was ignited after the Trump Organization was 'debanked' by financial institutions during the Biden Administration, leading them to find crypto a faster and more transparent alternative.
The Trump family has ventured into multiple cryptocurrency projects, including World Liberty Financial, which is set to launch a stablecoin called USD1 with BitGo as its custodian.
Asher Genoot expressed his excitement about positioning North America as a leader in Bitcoin mining and the opportunity to connect with industry leaders and investors at the conference.
American Bitcoin, launched on March 31, 2025, aims to achieve over 50 EH/s of mining capacity, aspiring to become the world's largest pure-play Bitcoin miner.
Eric Trump described American Bitcoin as a transformative initiative for bitcoin mining in North America, expressing pride in unveiling their vision at the conference.
Consensus 2025 will feature over 500 speakers and provide immersive experiences, covering topics such as Bitcoin mining, institutional adoption, and innovations in Web3.
Despite his enthusiasm for cryptocurrency, Eric Trump's recent investment advice has resulted in losses, with ether (ETH) dropping from around $2,700 to approximately $1,500 since his February 2025 tweet.
The conference is expected to attract over 15,000 attendees, highlighting the growing interest in digital finance.
