Bitmain, the leading global producer of Bitcoin mining hardware, has announced plans to open its first dedicated manufacturing facility in the United States by early 2026.
The new plant, representing a strategic expansion into North America, aims to significantly improve production speed and repair services for Bitmain’s US-based mining customers. The move directly addresses the dual challenges of lengthy delivery times for ASIC miners and extended hardware repair cycles, issues particularly acute for the large and complex US market.
Establishing US production capacity also offers critical strategic advantages in navigating the region’s regulatory environment. Historically, Bitmain has faced operational hurdles like hardware seizures by US Customs and Border Protection when importing equipment. This local investment mitigates such risks.
As part of the initial phase of its US expansion, Bitmain intends to hire approximately 250 local workers. The facility is slated to begin chip production operations in early 2026, scaling to full manufacturing capability by the end of the same year. The company currently dominates the global Bitcoin ASIC mining hardware market, holding an estimated 82% market share, with competitors MicroBT and Canaan holding 15% and 2% respectively.
