According to BlockBeats, Anthony Scaramucci, who briefly served as White House Communications Director under U.S. President Donald Trump, has become a vocal critic of the president. Despite this, Scaramucci and his son AJ Scaramucci are backing American Bitcoin, a mining company co-founded by Eric Trump, with investment from Donald Trump Jr.
In an interview with Fortune magazine, the Scaramucci family revealed that AJ's investment firm, Solari Capital, led a $220 million funding round for the company in July. Other investors included Tony Robbins, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, seasoned investor Grant Cardone, and serial entrepreneur Peter Diamandis.
The funding was completed before American Bitcoin went public through a reverse merger in September, although the list of investors was not disclosed at the time. AJ stated that Solari Capital invested over $100 million in the company but declined to specify the exact amount. Anthony Scaramucci also contributed a small amount, without revealing the figure.
