Catenaa, Sunday, August 02, 2025- Chinese Bitcoin mining hardware giant Bitmain is set to launch its first manufacturing facility in the United States, according to Bloomberg.
The phased plan includes establishing a new headquarters in Texas or Florida and hiring roughly 250 local workers for manufacturing and site maintenance.
Bitmain’s global business chief, Irene Gao, said initial production will begin in early 2026 with full-scale output expected later that year. Gao described the US market as a “unique opportunity,” citing pro-crypto policies under the Trump administration and a “Made in USA” push alongside China’s 2021 mining ban.
Despite higher US labor costs, Gao said local manufacturing will speed deliveries and repairs for customers and remain commercially viable amid tariff uncertainties and supply chain disruptions.
Chinese shipments have faced increasing US Customs scrutiny, delaying expansion plans.
Bitmain would join leading publicly traded US miners including Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms, and CleanSpark. Hut8 is also planning a merger with Gryphon Digital Mining and recently upgraded its mining fleet with over 31,000 Bitmain rigs.
Chinese Bitcoin miners are shifting to the US amid national security concerns. The US now controls 38% of global Bitcoin mining hashrate, up from 4% in 2019, according to Cambridge University data. Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT produce 99% of Bitcoin mining machines worldwide.
