Viewpoint: US ASIC mining machine prices may increase 5-10 times due to tariffs, mining companies are accelerating imports to cope with the crisis

According to a report by Golden Finance, Trump's series of tariff measures have caused market chaos, and industry insiders believe that domestic cryptocurrency mining companies in the United States may be affected as they are directly affected by the rising prices of imported mining machines from the Asian market. Blockware Solutions Chief Analyst Mitchell Askew stated that due to overseas supply being squeezed by tariffs and the rise in Bitcoin prices, the price of ASIC mining machines purchased by Bitcoin mining companies may increase by 5-10 times. The company's CEO Mason Jappa also stated that tariffs will have a significant impact on the Bitcoin mining industry, as most of the US mining machine imports come from Malaysia/Thailand/Indonesia. At present, domestic mining companies in the United States have begun to accelerate imports to cope with the crisis. Lauren Lin, the hardware manager of Luxor Technology, a Bitcoin mining software company, revealed that ideally, they may choose to charter planes to transport mining machines to the United States.
