While the US hosts 38% of Bitcoin’s hashrate, 97% of mining machines are made by two Chinese companies, according to a Bitcoin policy advocate.
Two US Republican senators have introduced the “Mined in America Act” in an attempt to bring more Bitcoin mining manufacturing back to the US and codify US President Donald Trump’s executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Introduced by US Senators Bill Cassidy and Cynthia Lummis on Monday, the new bill seeks to create a voluntary “Mined in America” certification for crypto mining facilities and mining pools. Certified facilities would be required to phase out mining equipment manufactured by companies tied to “foreign adversaries,” and support the domestic manufacturing of mining hardware.
“Digital asset mining is a big part of our economy. We should be doing it here in America,” Cassidy said in a statement on Monday.
