Poolin files for bankruptcy as Bitcoin mining industry bankruptcies resurface; BTC trades at $64127.45 amid bearish EMA signals and MACD death cross.

According to Taras Kulyk, CEO of Synteq Digital, U.S. tariffs on ASIC imports could increase costs by 10-50%, potentially slowing U.S. hashrate growth and eroding its dominance in Bitcoin mining, with the U.S. expected to remain a major global source but face rising competition from countries like Pakistan and Ethiopia (source: Kulyk). Jeff LaBerge of Bitdeer noted that miners are adapting through secondary markets and ASIC manufacturers are exploring U.S. production to mitigate tariff impacts, though expansion may shift to more cost-effective jurisdictions like Canada due to higher expenses and competition from AI data centers (source: LaBerge). Lauren Lin of Luxor Technology highlighted that tariffs on electrical hardware add challenges, but miners continue operations without panic, focusing on efficiency upgrades as global hashrate refresh presents a multi-billion dollar opportunity (source: Lin).
