According to ChainCatcher, American Bitcoin, a mining company supported by members of President Trump's family, purchased 16,299 Antminer machines from Bitmain this month, with a total hash rate of 14.02 EH/s and a transaction value of approximately $314 million.
The agreement excludes the impact of tariff increases. Under pressure from the trade war, Bitmain announced that it will build its first ASIC production plant in the United States by the end of the year and plans to establish its headquarters in Florida or Texas. Data from the University of Cambridge indicates that Bitmain holds an 82% share of the global mining machine market.
