Bitcoin News Today: Bitmain to build U.S. factory by late 2025 under Made in America policy to tackle trade tensions

Bitmain Technologies Ltd., the largest manufacturer of cryptocurrency mining equipment, announced plans to establish its first U.S. factory by late 2025, with production expected to commence in early 2026. The facility, to be located in Texas or Florida, will create over 200 local jobs and marks the company’s first major shift toward domestic manufacturing in the United States. This move aligns with the Biden administration’s “Made in America” policies, which prioritize reshoring critical technology industries, and aims to reduce Bitmain’s reliance on overseas supply chains while addressing trade uncertainties [2].

The project, confirmed by Bitmain’s Global Business Head Irene Gao, will focus on assembling mining hardware and supporting on-site maintenance, despite higher U.S. labor costs compared to other regions. Gao emphasized that proximity to major clients would improve service efficiency, offsetting increased operational expenses. The company previously outlined plans for a new production line in December 2024, with manufacturing now projected to begin in early 2026, a slight adjustment from earlier timelines [3].

Bitmain’s U.S. expansion seeks to strengthen domestic mining infrastructure by reducing logistical delays and tariff risks, enabling faster access to U.S. miners. Analysts suggest the factory could enhance the competitiveness of the American crypto mining sector by lowering hardware costs for local operators and fostering collaboration with domestic semiconductor and energy firms [1]. However, the initiative has yet to attract major endorsements from U.S. government officials or industry leaders, despite its alignment with broader efforts to bolster domestic technology sectors amid escalating trade tensions [2].

The factory’s full-scale production is expected by late 2026, with initial lines operational by the end of Q3 2025. While Bitcoin (BTC) currently holds a 60.71% market dominance as of July 29, 2025, Bitmain’s venture is framed as a strategic move to secure its position in a maturing U.S. market rather than directly influencing cryptocurrency price dynamics. Coincu analysts note that the expansion could indirectly benefit U.S. miners by increasing hardware availability but stress no immediate impact on DeFi protocols like Ethereum [5].

Bitmain’s decision reflects broader industry trends toward localizing high-tech manufacturing, driven by regulatory shifts and global supply chain disruptions. By addressing trade restrictions and reshoring operations, the company aims to mitigate risks while capitalizing on growing demand for U.S.-based crypto infrastructure. The project underscores a shift in the cryptocurrency sector’s approach to production, as firms increasingly prioritize supply chain resilience and regulatory alignment [6].
