President Donald Trump's Tariffs Hit Bitcoin Mining Too! Here are the Details
The U.S. Bitcoin mining industry is facing potential disruptions following President Donald Trump's recent tariff announcement, which will impose a customs duty of at least 10% on all imports starting April 5.
As Trump’s Tariffs Hit Supply Chains, the Bitcoin Mining Sector Prepares for Impact
In addition, Thailand and Malaysia, which are key players in the Bitcoin mining hardware supply chain, will face higher customs duties of 36% and 24% respectively starting from April 9.
Many large Bitcoin mining companies operate in the US, but their supply chains are concentrated in Asia. Bitmain, a Beijing-based Bitcoin mining hardware giant, has production lines in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Lin, the hardware manager of the US-based Luxor Technology, a Bitcoin mining software and services company, stated that he had to hastily send 5,600 Bitcoin miners from Thailand to the US within 48 hours to avoid the upcoming tariffs.
The sudden policy change forced mining companies to reassess their strategies. Higher import costs for mining equipment may increase operational expenses, affecting Bitcoin's network hash rate and overall mining profitability in the US.
As trade policies tensions rise, the long-term effects on Bitcoin mining operations and supply chain stability remain uncertain.
