Top Chinese Bitcoin miner manufacturers are relocating their production to the U.S. in response to President Trump's tariffs on foreign tech.
The relocation aims to avoid cross-border tariffs and reduce dependency on China, affecting over 90% of global Bitcoin mining machines.
Bitmain, the largest manufacturer, started U.S.-based production in December, Canaan is testing U.S. manufacturing feasibility, and MicroBT is implementing a localization strategy.
While offering benefits to Chinese firms, the move could draw scrutiny from U.S. regulators concerned about foreign influence in critical tech sectors.
Regulators may raise national security concerns due to the role of Bitcoin mining rigs in network integrity and their impact on the global crypto ecosystem.
The crypto industry is now intertwined with broader economic realignments, with U.S.-based mining hardware production becoming a focal point in the battle for technological dominance.
