Crypto Firm Tied to Trumps Sees Shares Sink as Lockup Ends
Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.American Bitcoin Corp. stock plunged on Tuesday after restricted shares of the crypto miner co-founded by Eric Trump were freed up to be traded. The selloff was swift. Shares lost more than half of their value in less than 30 minutes as the equity lockup expired, triggering repeated trading halts. The stock pared declines later in the trading session.Shares from a private placement that took place before American Bitcoin merged with Gryphon Digital Mining Inc. became available on Tuesday, according to the crypto miner and a post on the social media platform X by Trump.“We expect near term volatility as those shares come to market and as some investors take the opportunity to realize gains,” Matt Prusak, president of American Bitcoin, said in a statement.Crypto firms have often seen large declines after the end of share lockup periods or announcing private investment in public equity filings, as their largely retail investor base takes it as a signal to sell. Retail traders often fear that those early investors will want to lock in their gains and unload shares.Today's show features: Bloomberg News Equities Reporter Monique Mulima on the crypto market and the pullback in shares of Eric Trump’s American Bitcoin Corp.

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF. The start of a historically strong month on Wall Street saw stocks falling as traders shunned riskier corners of the market amid a selloff in cryptocurrencies.

The Russell 2000 gauge of small caps slid over 1%. Nearly $1 billion of leveraged crypto positions were liquidated during a sharp drop in prices that brought fresh momentum to a wide-ranging industry plunge. Bitcoin sank to around $85,000. Despite the reduced appetite for risk, Treasuries kicked off the week on the back foot as Japan’s bond yields climbed after comments from the central bank chief spurred rate-hike wagers.Equities lost steam after investors wrapped up a choppy November with gains amid growing speculation that the Federal Reserve is more likely than not to ease policy this month.
