All sorts of ways, you can just do a Layer -> Transparency -> Alpha to Selection on the text layer. Then clear the selection.
However, good practice at using layer masks. Gimp 2.10 can now apply a layer mask to a layer group
Make a layer group and add (drag) the text layer and the stamp layer into it.
Disable the visibility of the stamp layer for while the layer mask is created from the text layer
Onto the layer group and add a layer mask Layer -> Mask -> Add layer mask Choose "Transfer Layer Alpha Value and check the "Invert" option
That masks the text. Restore visibility to the stamp layer.
Add a background to verify..
Looks complicated but not at all. In 30 seconds. https://i.imgur.com/H7XyfPk.mp4
