Chinese Bitcoin Rig Makers Shift Manufacturing to U.S. Amid Tariffs

• Chinese mining rig giants are setting up U.S. production to bypass tariffs.
• The U.S.-China trade war is altering global Bitcoin hardware supply chains.
• Concerns persist over national security and over-reliance on Chinese technology.As trade tensions escalate, the world’s three biggest Bitcoin mining hardware makers, Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT, are relocating part of their production facilities from China to America.

  The firms, all of Chinese origin, control more than 90% of worldwide mining hardware and react to a shift in regulatory and economic climate brought by tariffs as well as by geopolitics.
  
  Bitmain has already started U.S. operations, which is a sign of a strategic shift due to the 2024 election cycle. Local pilot plants by Canaan and MicroBT are a response meant to offset import duties that were triggered during President Trump’s trade policy.
