US Senators Introduce ‘Mined in America Act’ to Boost Bitcoin Manufacturing and Strategic Reserve

US Senators Bill Cassidy and Cynthia Lummis have introduced the “Mined in America Act,” a proposal aimed at expanding domestic Bitcoin mining manufacturing and formalizing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve established through an executive order by President Donald Trump. The bill proposes a voluntary “Mined in America” certification for mining facilities and pools operating within the United States.

Facilities seeking certification would be required to phase out mining equipment produced by companies linked to foreign adversaries while supporting the development of US-based mining hardware manufacturing. Cassidy stated that digital asset mining plays a significant role in the national economy and should be conducted domestically.

Hardware Dependence and Supply Chain Risks Highlighted

Although the United States currently hosts about 38% of global Bitcoin hashrate, roughly 97% of mining machines are manufactured by Chinese companies Bitmain and MicroBT, according to Dennis Porter, CEO of Satoshi Action Fund.

The proposal also directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership to assist in producing secure, energy-efficient mining equipment and strengthening domestic supply chains.
