U.S. Senator Introduces Legislation to Enshrine Bitcoin Strategic Reserve into Law, Concurrently Mandating De-Chinaization of Mining Hardware Supply Chains
Currently, the U.S. controls 38% of global Bitcoin hashrate, while 97% of mining hardware originates from China—a figure that serves as the logical starting point for the entire bill.

TechFlow Digest: Senators Cassidy and Lummis jointly introduced the “Made in America Mining Act,” centered on two key objectives: codifying President Trump’s executive order establishing a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve into law, and mandating that mining infrastructure be decoupled from China’s supply chain.
Currently, the U.S. controls 38% of global Bitcoin hash rate—but 97% of mining hardware originates from China. This statistic serves as the foundational premise for the entire bill.

Washington, D.C.—U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) introduced the “Made in America Mining Act,” aimed at bringing critical digital infrastructure back to the United States. Additionally, the bill formally enshrines President Trump’s executive order establishing a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve into law.
“Digital asset mining is a vital component of our economy—and it should happen here in the United States,” said Cassidy. “This legislation will secure our supply chains, bolster U.S. manufacturing, and support this growing industry.”
“President Trump pledged to make America the capital of digital assets—and we won’t back down,” said Lummis. “The ‘Made in America Mining Act’ brings this industry home through forward-looking measures, safeguarding our financial future. I am honored to partner with Senator Cassidy to ensure the future of digital assets is forged right here in America.”
1. Establish a voluntary “Made in America” certification: Directs the Department of Commerce to create a voluntary certification program for cryptocurrency mining facilities and mining pools.
2. Phase out mining hardware linked to foreign adversaries: Certified facilities must gradually discontinue use of mining equipment manufactured by companies affiliated with foreign adversaries.
3. Leverage existing federal energy and rural development programs to support the transition: Integrates the certification program into existing federal initiatives—rather than creating new spending authorities.
4. Support domestic mining hardware manufacturing: Directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program to assist U.S. manufacturers in developing secure, energy-efficient cryptocurrency mining equipment.
5. Codify President Trump’s Bitcoin Strategic Reserve into law: Establishes a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve within the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
The “Made in America Mining Act” is endorsed by the Satoshi Action Fund.
“The United States controls 38% of the world’s Bitcoin hash rate—but 97% of the hardware powering it comes from China. That isn’t leadership—it’s a liability. The ‘Made in America Mining Act’ breaks this dependency by building a virtuous cycle: domestic manufacturing, certified mining operations, strengthened grid and energy infrastructure, and a clear pathway to the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. If we are serious about leadership in Bitcoin, we cannot allow adversaries to hold the keys to our supply chain,” said Dennis Porter, CEO and Co-Founder of the Satoshi Action Fund.
