Bitdeer Technologies Group, a Nasdaq-listed bitcoin mining firm led by Jihan Wu, plans to expand its self-mining operations by shifting production of bitcoin mining hardware to the United States. The move is driven by concerns over tariffs imposed during the Trump administration, with the company aiming to take advantage of a 90-day tariff suspension period to ship mining machines from Southeast Asia to the U.S. Bitdeer intends to start manufacturing in the U.S. in the second half of 2025 and prioritize self-mining using its in-house machines. Meanwhile, Auradine, a bitcoin miner manufacturer specializing in blockchain, privacy, and AI infrastructure, has raised $153 million in a Series C funding round led by StepStone Group, with participation from Qualcomm, Mayfield Fund, Premji Invest, Samsung Catalyst, and MARA Holdings. Auradine plans to use the funds to advance its energy-efficient bitcoin mining and AI networking hardware, including hydro-cooled miners engineered in the U.S. This funding round brings Auradine's total investment to over $300 million. The developments reflect growing industry adjustments to trade policies and increasing scrutiny on Chinese competitors.
