According to Taras Kulyk of Synteq Digital, U.S. tariffs on ASIC imports could increase Bitcoin mining costs and slow BTC hashrate growth in the U.S., potentially eroding its global dominance. Jeff LaBerge of Bitdeer noted that miners are adapting by using secondary markets for cheaper rigs, while ASIC manufacturers like Canaan are exploring U.S. partnerships to mitigate tariff impacts. Lauren Lin of Luxor Technology added that uncertainty remains as tariffs evolve, and competition from AI data centers may redirect mining investments, emphasizing efficiency upgrades for profitability.

According to Eleanor Terrett on Twitter, the upcoming BTC Policy Summit in Washington DC on June 25, 2025, will feature an in-depth panel on how American Bitcoin (BTC) mining dominance could affect network decentralization and overall market stability. The discussion, moderated by Terrett with panelists @thetrocro and @JaysonBrowder, is expected to address potential risks and opportunities for BTC traders as US-based mining power grows. This focus on mining centralization is highly relevant for crypto investors, as shifts in mining control can influence BTC price volatility and network security (source: @EleanorTerrett, Twitter, June 13, 2025).
