As US-China trade tensions rise, top Chinese Bitcoin ASIC makers are moving production to the US to avoid high tariffs and maintain market access. With Bitmain, MicroBT, and Canaan supplying over 99% of global ASICs, this shift could reshape prices and the global mining hardware supply chain.
Chinese Bitcoin ASIC Giants Relocate Production to the US
The world’s leading manufacturers of Bitcoin mining ASICs, including Bitmain, MicroBT, and Canaan, are now launching production units in the US. This move is driven by tariff pressures, with the US currently imposing a 25% tax on Chinese imports.
By shifting production, these companies aim to preserve market share in the US and reduce customs-related risks. The relocation is also a strategic hedge against future disruptions in cross-border semiconductor trade.
US Tariffs Drive Strategic Manufacturing Shift
The decision to establish production in the US follows the Trump administration’s continued tariff escalation on Chinese tech goods. An earlier incident where over 10,000 Bitmain ASICs were seized by US Customs highlighted the vulnerability of Chinese exporters in the crypto space. As geopolitical factors become increasingly influential, Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturers are diversifying production bases to mitigate risk and ensure global competitiveness.
Can US-Based ASIC Production Compete with China?
One of the biggest concerns surrounding the shift is whether US-based production can match China's cost-efficiency. China’s dominance has long been supported by lower labor costs, mature supply chains, and established infrastructure. While the move may help manufacturers avoid tariffs and sanctions, it remains uncertain if US-manufactured Bitcoin ASICs can remain price competitive. For now, this strategic relocation is more about survival than optimization.
Amid geopolitical pressure, the crypto mining industry is shifting. Chinese firms may turn the US into a secondary hub for Bitcoin ASIC production, balancing regulation with expansion. The impact on prices and US miner access remains uncertain.
