U.S. Senators introduce legislation to enshrine Bitcoin as a strategic reserve into law, simultaneously requiring the mining hardware supply chain to be de-Chinafied.

Deep Tide Editorial: Cassidy and Lummis jointly proposed the “American Made Mining Act,” with two core priorities: codifying into law President Trump’s executive order on a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, and mandating that mining infrastructure break away from China’s supply chain.

The United States currently controls 38% of the world’s Bitcoin hash rate, but 97% of mining hardware comes from China—this figure is the logical starting point for the entire bill.

The full text is as follows:

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy (Republican, Louisiana) and Cynthia Lummis (Republican, Wyoming) introduced the “American Made Mining Act,” aiming to bring critical digital infrastructure back to the United States. In addition, the bill would formally enshrine into law the executive order by President Trump to establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve.

“Digital asset mining is an important part of our economy, and we should do it here at home in the United States,” Cassidy said. “This legislation will safeguard supply chain security, support American manufacturing, and help this industry thrive.”

“President Trump has promised to make the United States the capital of digital assets, and we won’t back down,” Lummis said. “The ‘American Made Mining Act’ brings this industry home with forward-looking initiatives, safeguarding our financial future. I’m honored to partner with Senator Cassidy to ensure that the future of digital assets is forged here in the United States.”

1. Establish a voluntary “American Made” certification: Direct the Department of Commerce to create a voluntary certification program for cryptocurrency mining facilities and mining pools.

2. Gradually phase out mining hardware linked to foreign competitors: Certified facilities must progressively retire mining equipment made by companies that are associated with foreign competitors.

3. Support the transition using existing federal energy and rural programs: Integrate the certified programs into existing federal initiatives rather than creating new spending authorizations.

4. Support domestic mining hardware manufacturing: Direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership program to help American manufacturers develop secure and more energy-efficient cryptocurrency mining equipment.

5. Codify President Trump’s Bitcoin Strategic Reserve into law: Establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve within the Department of the Treasury.

The “American Made Mining Act” received support from the Satoshi Action Fund.

“The United States controls 38% of the world’s Bitcoin hash rate, but 97% of the hardware that powers it comes from China. This isn’t leadership—it’s a liability. The ‘American Made Mining Act’ breaks this dependency by building a virtuous cycle—domestic manufacturing, certified mining operations, strengthened grid energy infrastructure, and a pathway to the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. If we’re serious about leadership in Bitcoin, we can’t allow our adversaries to hold the keys to our supply chain,” said Dennis Porter, CEO and co-founder of the Satoshi Action Fund.
