According to Taras Kulyk, CEO of Synteq Digital, US Bitcoin mining hashrate growth may plateau due to tariffs raising ASIC import costs by 10-50%, potentially slowing BTC production expansion as miners adapt through secondary markets. Jeff LaBerge of Bitdeer noted miners are focusing on efficiency over new locations, with competition from AI data centers threatening profitability, as stated in the analysis. Lauren Lin from Luxor Technology reported no panic among miners, but uncertainties persist, affecting mining stocks and BTC supply dynamics.
