#美共和党提出美国挖矿法案 The United States Launches the "Mining Law"！Bitcoin Strategic Reserves Take a Step Forward, Chinese Mining Machines in Danger!

Trump's ambition to turn the U.S. into the "Global Cryptocurrency Capital" is gradually becoming law. On Monday, Republican Senators Cynthia Lummis and Bill Cassidy dropped a heavy bomb—the "U.S. Mining Act." This is not just a mining bill. Its underlying message is: the U.S. will not only stockpile Bitcoin but also mine it themselves; not only mine domestically but also kick out "foreign hostile forces'" mining machines. A new game around hash power, energy, and national security has begun.

⛏️ Chapter 1: Trump's "Bitcoin Dream" is Becoming Legislation
Last year, when Trump was still a presidential candidate, he announced plans to make the U.S. the "Global Cryptocurrency Capital." In March this year, he signed an executive order to officially establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve—funds from Bitcoin confiscated by the Treasury, at no taxpayer expense. Now, Lummis and Cassidy want to codify this executive order into law, along with a "Mining Bill." "President Trump promises to make the U.S. the world’s digital asset capital, and we will not back down." — Translated by Lummis, this means: this is a done deal.

🏭 Chapter 2: Mining Is More Than Just Mining
The core of the "U.S. Mining Act" is far more than just "encouraging mining." According to the bill: the Department of Commerce will establish a "voluntary certification program" to provide official endorsement for mining pools and facilities. Certified facilities must gradually phase out mining equipment made by companies associated with "foreign hostile forces." What does this mean? Currently, the global mining machine market is dominated by Chinese manufacturers (Bitmain, MicroBT, etc.). If the label "foreign hostile forces" is applied, it means: to get certified and mine legally in the U.S., you must replace Chinese-made mining machines. This is a supply chain purge in the name of "national security."

💰 Chapter 3: Bitcoin Strategic Reserve "Expansion Plan"
Lummis already reintroduced a bill in March to legalize Trump's Bitcoin strategic reserve executive order. Now, with the "U.S. Mining Act," they are taking a two-pronged approach:
Existing stock: Bitcoin confiscated by the government locked into the strategic reserve
Incremental: encouraging domestic mining to produce new Bitcoin
The goal is clear: make the U.S. a dual champion of "producer" and "reserve" for Bitcoin.
Cassidy said more straightforwardly on X: "Digital asset mining is an important part of our economy. We should conduct this business in the U.S."

🧭 Final Chapter: Lummis's "Last Sprint"
Cynthia Lummis, the most well-known "Crypto Queen" in Congress, is pushing these bills. She has championed multiple cryptocurrency laws: market structure, tax reform, strategic reserves... each one hitting the core issues. But an important background detail is that she announced last year she would not seek re-election, with her term ending in January 2027. This means she has less than a year left in her window of influence.
The "U.S. Mining Act" and Bitcoin strategic reserve legislation are likely her final major battles before stepping down.
