Bitmain, the world’s leading Bitcoin mining ASIC manufacturer, is preparing to open its first manufacturing facility in the United States—a strategic move set to accelerate production and support for American clients.
According to Bloomberg, Bitmain plans to establish its US-based ASIC manufacturing plant within the coming months.
Simultaneously, the company is also deliberating on a decision to launch a new headquarters in Texas or Florida. This expansion is designed to significantly improve delivery and repair times for US customers.
Bitmain’s global business chief, Irene Gao, revealed that US chip production is scheduled to commence in early 2026, ramping up to full-scale manufacturing by year’s end.
In the initial rollout phase, Bitmain aims to hire approximately 250 local employees for roles in manufacturing operations and facility maintenance—providing expert training to build a highly skilled workforce.
Gao calls the US’s strong push for Bitcoin dominance as “a unique opportunity” for Bitmain to anchor its presence in North America.
Bitmain’s move follows similar US-production announcements from fellow mining hardware giants Canaan and MicroBT.
Collectively, these three companies dominate the global Bitcoin ASIC market—with a University of Cambridge report noting that Bitmain alone accounts for 82% of ASIC output, trailed by MicroBT (15%) and Canaan (2%).
This trend is in part a response to steep reciprocal tariffs on Chinese tech imports and a more favorable US crypto stance under the Trump administration.
With the Chinese supply chains still under fire, Trump's trade war disrupting several businesses, including Bitmain's US expansion goals.
Beijing-based company shipments have also been held up at several ports with heightened scrutiny by the Customs department.
Establishing domestic manufacturing helps these firms mitigate supply chain risks, comply with trade regulations, and meet growing US demand for mining infrastructure.
Bringing chip production to the US may also help Bitmain sidestep previous regulatory obstacles.
In late 2024, US Customs and Border Protection halted thousands of Bitmain ASIC shipments amid an investigation into Bitmain’s ties to Chinese chip designer Xiamen Sophgo, which was alleged to have had relations with sanctioned firm Huawei.
Although hardware clearance resumed in March, the episode underscored the importance of onshore production and compliance in the current regulatory climate.
With manufacturing set to start in early 2026 and a headquarters announcement on the horizon, Bitmain’s US expansion signals a pivotal shift for the Bitcoin mining sector.
Domestic production stands to boost industry resilience, speed up delivery for American miners, and cement Bitmain’s position as a global leader ready to meet surging demand as the crypto market continues to evolve.
