Bitmain to Establish Local Bitcoin Miner Manufacturing in the U.S. by Year-End

The world’s largest producer of Bitcoin mining equipment, Bitmain, will soon launch its first factory in the United States. Irene Gao, the head of the company’s global business, informed Bloomberg that this development is expected to take place within the coming months.

By the end of the third quarter, Bitmain plans to establish its manufacturing operations in either Texas or Florida, with full-scale production set to begin in early 2026.

Gao noted that labor costs in the U.S. will be higher compared to those in Asia. However, Bitmain believes the project is economically viable, especially considering the potential changes in U.S. tariff policies.

Initially, the company aims to employ 250 local specialists for both device assembly and maintenance services. It is anticipated that local production will reduce delivery times and repair services for American customers.

The imposition of tariffs on imports of Chinese technologies has prompted Bitmain, along with Canaan and MicroBT, to move part of their manufacturing to the United States to avoid additional expenses. Many of these companies have faced delays due to inspections by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The Chinese giant’s move into North America could strengthen its position in this crucial market, as local firms like Auradine and Jack Dorsey’s Block Inc. currently lack the scale of their Chinese counterparts, experts have noted.

It’s worth mentioning that Trump’s «liberation» tariffs have significantly impacted Bitcoin miners.
