Trump-Backed Miner Loses President to AI Infrastructure Firm

A high-profile executive at American Bitcoin, a mining operation backed by Eric Trump, has left to join Giga Energy, an AI infrastructure company. Matt Prusak's departure marks a structural realignment in North America's energy sector as mining executives are being courted by AI firms.

Giga Energy specializes in power solutions for data centers, a segment that has drawn billions in capital. Prusak's skills in load balancing, thermal management, and energy procurement make him an ideal fit for the role.

The move highlights the convergence of crypto and AI industries as Bitcoin miners are retooling for AI workloads. Several large publicly traded miners have already converted a portion of their capacity to high-performance computing hosting, securing multi-year contracts.
