According to industry experts, new tariffs on ASIC imports from Southeast Asia could raise costs for US Bitcoin miners but are unlikely to halt operations. Taras Kulyk, CEO of Synteq Digital, stated that US hashrate growth may plateau as mining expands globally, with countries like Pakistan entering the market. Jeff LaBerge of Bitdeer noted miners are adapting through secondary markets and exploring US-based ASIC production to mitigate tariff impacts. Lauren Lin from Luxor Technology highlighted ongoing policy uncertainty but no significant disruption, as miners focus on efficiency improvements. Competition from AI data centers could further divert resources, potentially slowing US mining expansion and affecting Bitcoin supply dynamics.
