According to CryptoMichNL, U.S. tariffs on imported ASICs could increase costs for Bitcoin miners by 10-50%, potentially slowing the growth of U.S. hashrate but not ending its dominance, as stated by Taras Kulyk, CEO of Synteq Digital. Kulyk noted that while the U.S. remains the largest global source of BTC hashrate, its growth may plateau due to expansion in countries like Pakistan and Ethiopia. Jeff LaBerge of Bitdeer emphasized that competition from AI data centers is a larger threat, diverting resources and pushing miners towards efficiency improvements, which could affect BTC supply dynamics and mining profitability.
