Gryphon stock soars 231% ahead of September American Bitcoin merger

Gryphon’s rising share price comes as more crypto companies go public and digital asset regulation in the United States has progressed.

Gryphon Digital Mining is set to merge with Trump-linked American Bitcoin in September, with its shares already up 231% since the May announcement.
