Welcome to The Mining Pod’s news roundup! Colin Harper and Matt Kimmel are joined by special guest Ethan Vera, the COO of Luxor, to discuss one of the most electric weeks for bitcoin mining news this year. They break down Hut8’s new Trump-affiliated subsidiary American Bitcoin, Galaxy Digital’s 15-year, $4.5 billion hosting agreement with CoreWeave, and how the Trump administration’s blanket tariffs are bad news for miners and could lead to a 20-30% rise in ASIC miner prices. Plus, they cover Cango’s proposal to sell its auto-finance business to a Bitmain-linked entity for $352 million, and for this week’s cry corner, why Jack Dorsey thinks Lightning just isn’t cutting it.
