Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis (the Wyoming senator who proposed selling gold to buy $BTC as a strategic reserve) has introduced a bill to promote domestic Bitcoin mining in the U.S. and gradually eliminate mining equipment from foreign adversaries.
The content is as follows:
1. Domestic mining certification
The U.S. Department of Commerce will establish a voluntary certification program for cryptocurrency mines and pools, effectively issuing a "Mined in America" label.
2. Gradual elimination of mining hardware linked to foreign adversaries
Certified mines must gradually phase out mining equipment produced by companies associated with foreign hostile forces. (You all know who we are talking about 😂)
3. Utilize existing federal energy and rural development programs to support the transition
Instead of setting a new budget, these certification projects will be integrated into existing federal programs in the U.S. related to energy, rural development, etc., to assist mines in transitioning.
4. Support domestic manufacturing of mining machines
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership program are required to assist domestic manufacturers in developing safer and more energy-efficient cryptocurrency mining equipment.
5. Write Trump's BTC strategic reserve into law
A formal Bitcoin strategic reserve must be established within the U.S. Department of the Treasury, rather than as an executive order (currently it is an executive order that the next president can revoke).
Overall, I don't think this proposal will pass, but I have indeed heard that the second point has already attracted investigation from U.S. security agencies. It is reported that the Department of Homeland Security is conducting an investigation codenamed "Operation Red Sunset," specifically assessing whether certain brand mining machines can be remotely controlled, used for espionage activities, or disrupt the U.S. power grid.
PS: There are reports that this investigation spans both the Biden and Trump administrations. Investigators once intercepted goods from a certain brand at U.S. ports and dismantled chips and firmware for testing. In July 2025, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report indicating that certain brand equipment has disturbing vulnerabilities, warning that using these devices near power plants or military bases poses unacceptable risks.
PS2: Interestingly, Trump's two sons, Eric and Donald Jr., invested in the mining company American Bitcoin, which spent $314 million to buy 16,000 units of the brand's mining machines during the investigation, triggering criticism from the public.
