According to Taras Kulyk, CEO of Synteq Digital, U.S. Bitcoin hashrate growth may plateau as tariffs increase ASIC import costs by 10-50%, potentially slowing BTC production expansion. Jeff LaBerge, head of capital markets at Bitdeer, stated that miners are adapting through secondary markets and ASIC manufacturers like Bitmain are shifting production to the U.S. to mitigate impacts. Competition from AI data centers for resources could further constrain mining profitability and affect BTC supply dynamics.
