🇺🇸 Senators Introduce “Mined in America Act” to Boost Bitcoin Mining
WASHINGTON, March 30, 2026 — U.S. Senators Cynthia Lummis (R‑Wyo.) and Bill Cassidy (R‑La.) introduced the bipartisan “Mined in America Act”, a legislative push to expand Bitcoin (BTC) mining operations in the United States and strengthen the country’s role in the global crypto market.
The bill encourages mining operations to relocate domestically and reduces reliance on foreign hardware, particularly equipment linked to strategic competitors. It proposes a voluntary “Mined in America” certification program for mining facilities and pools that meet federal standards for security, compliance, and energy efficiency. Certified miners would gain access to federal support and programs to help scale operations sustainably.
The act also promotes domestic manufacturing of mining equipment, aiming to strengthen supply chains, create jobs, and drive innovation in energy-efficient mining technology.
A key feature is its effort to codify President Donald Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, establishing a federal framework for a Bitcoin reserve to enhance national financial security and America’s position in the digital asset space.
Senator Lummis called the act a step toward a secure, American-led crypto industry, while Senator Cassidy highlighted its importance for supply chains and responsible mining practices. The bill now heads to Senate committee deliberations and could reshape U.S. Bitcoin mining and the broader digital asset landscape.
