The US authorities have started releasing Chinese-made Bitcoin mining equipment that was seized last year, with thousands of pieces of equipment already released.
Approximately 10,000 units are still stuck at various ports of entry.
The US authorities' seizure targeted Bitmain's Antminer S21 and T21 series, with reports suggesting that the equipment contained AI chips from a now-restricted chip company.
Bitmain is expanding operations in the US, aiming to improve supply chain efficiency and deliver better support to North American customers.
