Key Highlights

• New bill proposes a “Mined in America” certification while phasing out China-linked mining hardware

• Legislation also formalizes a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under the Treasury

Yello Paradisers! The U.S. already controls 38% of Bitcoin mining, yet relies on foreign hardware,  so what happens if America decides to own the entire Bitcoin mining stack?

U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy and Cynthia Lummis have introduced the “Mined in America Act” on March 30, aiming to bring Bitcoin mining infrastructure back under domestic control while strengthening national security.

The bill directs the Department of Commerce to create a voluntary certification program for mining operations. To qualify, facilities must transition away from hardware linked to foreign adversaries, particularly China, which currently supplies 97% of global mining equipment.

Rather than introducing new federal spending, the legislation integrates certified mining operations into existing energy and rural development programs.

It also assigns the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership to support U.S.-based production of energy-efficient mining hardware.

A key component of the bill is the formal establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve within the Department of the Treasury, turning a prior executive action into law.

Why It Matters

This is not just about mining. It is about control.

Bitcoin has always been global, but infrastructure is not. Whoever controls hardware, energy, and production pipelines quietly influences the system behind the scenes.

And here is the irony. A decentralized network still depends on very centralized supply chains.

Market Impact

In the short term, the bill may not immediately shift mining activity, as it remains in early legislative stages.

However, it introduces a clear policy direction. The U.S. is moving from passive participation in mining toward active industrial strategy.

If implemented, this could accelerate domestic mining expansion, reduce reliance on foreign hardware, and reshape global hash rate distribution over time.

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve element also reinforces Bitcoin’s growing role in national financial strategy, not just private investment.

What to Watch Next

Watch the bill’s progress through Congress and any bipartisan support.

Monitor reactions from mining companies, especially those reliant on foreign hardware supply chains.

Track developments around U.S.-based mining hardware manufacturing.

Observe whether other nations respond with similar policies to secure their own mining infrastructure.

Insights for Traders

Big players are thinking in layers, not just price.

Governments are beginning to treat Bitcoin like strategic infrastructure, similar to energy or semiconductors.

The first-order effect is policy support. The second-order effect is deeper. Control over mining supply chains can influence long-term network dynamics, costs, and geographic power distribution.

And here is the subtle shift. Bitcoin is moving from an asset class to a geopolitical instrument.
