Trump-linked American Bitcoin president Matt Prusak departs for Giga Energy
The executive is leaving the Eric Trump-backed miner to join an AI power infrastructure firm, highlighting the shift toward energy and data center buildout.
Matt Prusak, president and interim CFO of American Bitcoin (ABTC), a Trump-linked bitcoin mining company, is departing to join Giga Energy, an AI and energy infrastructure developer. Effective Aug. 4, Prusak will assume the role of chief business officer and interim CFO at Giga Energy. His departure comes as bitcoin mining companies pivot toward artificial intelligence infrastructure to meet the surging demand for AI compute.
Prusak, who previously served as president of ABTC and interim CFO, expressed his transition to upstream power infrastructure, where he believes the industry is headed. Giga Energy, based in Houston, specializes in power equipment and AI data center infrastructure, having delivered more than 6.5 GW of power infrastructure and developing over 500 MW of AI-ready data center capacity.
The move highlights the trend of executives and capital gravitating toward the energy infrastructure supporting AI computing and bitcoin mining, with access to reliable power becoming a significant constraint on expanding compute capacity.
