- Bitmain, Canaan, and MicroBT control over 90% of the world's Bitcoin mining hardware supply.
- US-listed Bitcoin miners now contribute 31.6% of the global hashrate, a 50% increase since April 2024.
- The shift to US production could raise security concerns among regulators due to China's role in critical industries.
