Trump’s tariffs threaten U.S. Bitcoin mining as China hit with 34% export duty.
Trump’s new tariff policy is poised to disrupt the U.S. Bitcoin mining industry, as China—the world’s biggest supplier of mining equipment—faces a steep 34% export tariff, putting pressure on American miners’ ROI.
On April 2, Trump signed a sweeping executive order to impose reciprocal tariffs on every country that has tariffs on U.S. goods. The base tariff rate was set at 10%, with implementation slated for April 5. Some nations were hit with much higher rates, with Thailand and Malaysia facing 36% and 24% tariffs respectively, beginning April 9.
