Trump's 'Made-in-America' Bitcoin Mining Plan Falters Amidst Crypto Downturn
The promise to keep Bitcoin mining in the US is crumbling under the weight of an AI boom and a prolonged crypto downturn. Donald Trump's pledge, which aimed to ensure that Bitcoin mining activity remains centered in America, is rapidly disintegrating.
Even after a recent rally, Bitcoin's market value has plummeted by about $1 trillion from its October 2025 peak. The economics of mining the token have never looked less appealing, making it increasingly challenging for Trump's plan to succeed.
