TechFlow news, November 15 — According to Fortune magazine, Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served as White House communications director during President Trump's first administration, soon became a vocal critic of the president. However, this has not stopped the founder of SkyBridge Capital and his son AJ Scaramucci from backing American Bitcoin—a bitcoin mining company co-founded by Trump’s second son, Eric Trump, and in which Trump’s eldest son, Donald Jr., also invested.
The Scaramuccis told Fortune that AJ’s investment firm, Solari Capital, led a $220 million funding round for this “Trump family company” in July.
The financing was completed prior to American Bitcoin going public via reverse merger in September this year, but the company never publicly disclosed its investor list. AJ said Solari Capital invested over $100 million in the company, though he declined to specify the exact amount. Anthony himself also made a small personal investment, without disclosing the sum.
