The move marks a further step in the Shenzhen-based manufacturer’s push to localize its operations in response to U.S. tariffs on Chinese mining hardware and the shifting dynamics of institutional demand.

By producing machines domestically, MicroBT said it can eliminate import tariffs and international shipping costs, while providing faster delivery and local after-sales support.

MicroBT claims that its U.S. supply chain now supports a monthly output of more than 10,000 units with a yield rate up to 99%. It has also established service centers and tax-free storage facilities on both coasts, along with three official repair hubs that promise responses within 24 hours and repairs completed in less than seven business days.

MicroBT began investing in U.S. manufacturing in 2021 with its manufacturing partner Synos, years before Washington imposed steep tariffs on Chinese-made mining rigs as part of broader trade frictions with Beijing. Those tariffs, combined with higher shipping costs, longer lead times, and the subdued bitcoin mining hashprice, have weighed on institutional demand for mining hardware from major Chinese manufacturers since earlier this year.

Rival Bitmain has similarly explored on-shore assembly and logistics centers in the U.S., while Canaan has been running domestic production pilots and recently partnered with Luxor to finance Avalon sales to American miners. Bitdeer, meanwhile, has leveraged its presence in Texas to expand equipment deployment and said it is actively preparing for its US manufacturing capacity.
