Two senators were introduced Bill Cassidy (Republican from Louisiana) WCynthia Loomis (Republic of Wyoming) Bill “Mined in America Act” on March 30, which aims to create a government guarantee program to breed Bitcoin mining and codify it into a law President Trump Executive Order on the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
The fund is looking at an approach that companies can no longer ignore: the US regime 38% About the international value of Bitcoin, but it is exported 97% About his mining equipment from China.
This difference is the legal basis of the whole project; The distribution of hash parameters and the hardware dependency are two different things and, at the moment, they are running separately.
Important points:
- Legal access: The Mined in America Act creates a voluntary certification by the Department of Commerce of mining facilities that have committed to eliminating weapons received from foreign enemies, with a requirement for full reform at the end of ten years.
- Federal Access: Licensed miners get access to the Department of Energy (DOE) and USDA’s sustainable grid program, renewable energy capture, and methane capture, without the need for new federal funding.
- Storage method: The project approves Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, creating a way for US legal entities to sell newly mined Bitcoin to the depository for tax exemption.
- Hardware Damage: A customs inspection in late 2024 revealed flaws in the firmware of Chinese mining equipment that allowed remote access, a security issue that enabled hardware leaks.
- Observations: Submit the project to the Commerce Committee or the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, where this process will inform the timing of the hearings and the amount of changes that have been made to the proposed design.
What does the Mined in America Act do and why is certification important?
The main mechanism of the project is a voluntary program managed by the Ministry of Commerce. The mining unions that have chosen to join have committed to eliminating weapons manufactured by companies linked to foreign adversaries – with China and Russia prominently mentioned – which needs to be phased out by the end of the decade.
This distinction is very important; The fact that the program is free means there are no penalties for non-participants, but an incentive structure has been created to make certification economically attractive. The approved facility will receive funding from DOE and USDA Rural Development programs, covering fixed grid loads, capturing renewable energy, and capturing methane from landfills and oil.
The project does not require a new allocation of funds, which represents the project’s primary political defense against financial criminals against the recession.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership will be deployed to support US companies that are developing domestic ASIC mining equipment, with the responsibility for domestic assembly. NIST’s position here is interesting, because it shows that the project is fixing hardware security as a matter of standards, not a matter of business process.
Officially registering the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve also increases the direct line from the supply chain to the reserve. Licensed miners can sell new bitcoin to the bank in exchange for a capital tax break, a budget-friendly solution that does not require the asset to go to the market to buy.
And he announced Dennis Porter“The United States controls 38% of the hashrate of Bitcoin in the world, but 97% of the hardware that runs it comes from China. That is not leadership. It is weakness,” said the CEO and co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund, which co-authored the legislation.
What to watch next
Changes that need to be monitored and sent to the committee; Senate leaders will refer the project to the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, or the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, possibly within a few weeks.
Referral to the Commerce Commission is the fastest way; The Energy and Natural Resources Committee has a heavy agenda and priorities in the second quarter of 2026.
Ensure that a similar bill is submitted to the House of Representatives within 60 days; Loomis has joined the House on previous crypto legislation, and political pressure to move in line is strong ahead of the midterm elections.
NIST’s original guidelines for designing ASIC devices are the most recent indication; If the standards are released within the next 90 days, it indicates that the executive branch is moving forward with the implementation plan before a final vote, which is usually a sign that the White House is prioritizing the project.
For mining stocks, the first indicator will be the guidelines for the DOE program; If the Departments of Commerce and Energy issue fast-tracking licenses, expect an influx of companies like… MARA andVIOLENCE andThe value of CLSK Based on the news before any work benefits.
The bill is now on the agenda, and the change that traders should be watching is whether the incentive will remain stable after the committee review, especially the income from the tax on the sale of storage.
