# U.S. Tariffs Hit Bitcoin Miners: What CleanSpark’s $185M Fight Means for the Industry

U.S.-based Bitcoin miner CleanSpark may be on the hook for up to $185M in tariffs after Customs flagged some of its imported equipment as Chinese in origin. CleanSpark denies the claim, citing procurement records, and plans to contest the penalty.

This isn’t an isolated case. IREN, another mining firm, recently faced a $100M tariff issue tied to imported rigs. As geopolitical scrutiny ramps up, miners may face mounting pressure over sourcing transparency — especially when dealing with Chinese-made hardware.

🔍 Insight: Mining companies should reassess supplier chains now before regulation catches up later.
