Bitmain to Establish Bitcoin Miner Production in the US by Year-End

Bitmain, the world’s largest manufacturer of bitcoin mining equipment, is set to open its first factory in the United States. Irene Gao, the head of the company’s global business, told Bloomberg that this will occur in the coming months. 

By the end of the third quarter, Bitmain is expected to establish production facilities in either Texas or Florida. Full-scale device production is planned for early 2026. 

Gao noted that labor costs will be higher than in Asia. Nevertheless, Bitmain considers the project economically viable, especially given potential changes in US tariff policy. 

In the initial phase, the firm intends to employ 250 local specialists for both device assembly and service maintenance. It is anticipated that local production will reduce delivery and repair times for American customers. 

The imposition of tariffs on Chinese technology imports has compelled Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT to relocate part of their production to the United States to avoid additional costs. Many have faced delays due to US Customs inspections. 

The Chinese giant’s move to North America could strengthen its position in a key market. Local companies like Auradine and Jack Dorsey’s Block Inc. have yet to match the scale of Chinese mining equipment manufacturers, experts noted.

Trump’s “liberating” tariffs dealt a significant blow to bitcoin miners.
