According to Miningstore.com, U.S. tariffs set to take effect August 1st impose duties of 36% on Thailand‑made ASICs, 32% on those from Indonesia, and 25% on machines from Malaysia and China raising landed costs for new mining hardware.

These sharp increases apply to new and replacement ASICs, affecting valuation of both future purchases and existing equipment.

Per CoinDesk, Bitmain has yet to announce a plan to increase U.S. production following April tariffs, leaving miners exposed to higher import costs.

Luxor Technology reports miners once rushed shipments to beat tariffs, but now face roughly 10% higher base prices, with uncertainty over whether these tariffs remain a long-term policy.

According to Reuters, leading manufacturers Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT, who produce over 90% of global ASICs, are starting U.S. production lines to bypass tariffs and ease supply-chain risks. Bitmain began domestic production in December, Canaan is piloting facilities, and MicroBT is actively working on localization strategies.

Per The Block, miners using hardware from impacted regions may face “massive costs” that erode profit margins as hardware makes up a large share of capital expenses. Analysts warn that a prolonged tariff regime could slow U.S. hashrate growth, pushing miners to move overseas or diversify into AI and data center workloads.
