Donald Trump has expressed a desire to develop Bitcoin mining in the USA. However, this idea faces several difficulties, including global competition and economic challenges.
Global Mining Competition
The global Bitcoin mining market is developing into a multi-billion dollar industry. Despite Trump's intentions to support local miners, the competitiveness of the USA is limited. For example, Kazakhstan, China, and African countries are actively increasing their capacities, providing cheap energy and significant investments, making them competitors to the USA in this sphere.
U.S. Miners Under Pressure
American companies such as Riot Platforms and CleanSpark Inc. are supporting Trump's initiatives, hoping for reduced regulatory pressure. However, this does not eliminate challenges: many crypto-related company stocks remain in the red despite the rise of Bitcoin. The mining process itself becomes more complex due to increasing difficulty and rising operational costs.
Mining Profits Decline
The 'halving' process reduces mining profitability, forcing companies to find new ways to adapt. Some, like Core Scientific, are diversifying their activities by investing in AI technologies and forming new partnerships. Meanwhile, other companies are amassing reserves to strengthen their market positions.
Trump's initiative to develop Bitcoin mining in the USA faces significant challenges. Global competition, economic factors, and technological changes require adaptation and new strategies from American miners.
