<h1>Former president's family-backed bitcoin treasury and mining company lists on Nasdaq after merger, plans self-mining and purchases</h1> A bitcoin treasury and mining company linked to a former president's family began trading on Nasdaq after completing a merger with a digital mining firm. The company, backed by family members, plans to grow via self-mining and opportunistic bitcoin purchases and joins other public firms using bitcoin as corporate treasury. The family's broader shift into crypto includes a stablecoin, a meme coin, and a social-media parent company accumulating bitcoin. Critics in the opposing party allege potential conflicts between the family's private crypto ventures and the former president's policy positions, while the family denies impropriety.
