ChainCatcher news, Anthony Scaramucci briefly served as White House Communications Director in President Trump's first administration but soon became a public critic of the president. However, this did not stop the SkyBridge Capital founder and his son AJ Scaramucci from supporting American Bitcoin—a Bitcoin mining company co-founded by Trump’s second son Eric Trump, with Trump’s eldest son Donald Jr. also involved in the investment. The Scaramucci father and son stated in an interview that AJ’s investment firm Solari Capital led a $220 million round of funding for the Trump family company in July. American Bitcoin completed this funding before going public through a reverse merger in September this year, but it has never publicly disclosed the list of investors. AJ mentioned that Solari Capital invested over $100 million in the company but declined to provide specific figures. Anthony himself also invested a small amount, which was similarly undisclosed.
