Bitcoin mining has become a major industry in the United States, with American miners currently contributing around 40% of the global Bitcoin mining hashrate. But could Donald Trump’s return to the White House make the US the sole hub for all future Bitcoin mining? Experts say that’s unlikely. During his campaign, Trump made numerous pro-crypto promises, including one bold statement: He wanted all remaining Bitcoin to be mined in the U.S. But achieving that would require shutting down mining operations worldwide and transferring that capacity to America, a move seen as impractical by industry professionals. “I think it’s impossible,” said…

The leading cryptocurrency in the world, Bitcoin (BTC) has made impressive strides when it comes to adoption. Whereas in 2024, BTC is available via exchange-traded funds (ETFs), serves as a store of value and hedge against inflation, and enjoys widespread mainstream popularity, in the last decade, it was quite obscure.
