US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) dey challenge CleanSpark Q2 2025 report, dem talk say Bitcoin mining equipment wey dem import from April to June 2024 comot for China, dem dey ask for $185 million import tariffs. CleanSpark talk say na lie, dem show supplier certificate and purchase agreement wey prove say e no come from China, and dem no set money aside for this wahala. Another miner, IREN dey face same yawa, dem ask am $100 million import tariff for equipment weh e bring from April 2024 to February 2025. These import tariffs show say US dey watch Bitcoin mining supply chain well well because of US–China trade war, e show say regulatory wahala fit dey and e fit increase cost for mining companies. Traders suppose dey watch how these tins go affect miner profit, plans to expand hashrate, and overall market feeling.
Neutral
$185 million tariff wey dem dey demand against CleanSpark and another $100 million gist wey dem get with IREN bring wahala for cost side for mining operators. For short time, if import tariff come up, e fit pressurize miner margin dem and delay hashrate expansion, e go make people dey careful with mining stocks. But dis news no too get direct impact for Bitcoin supply or market demand, e no go change BTC price well well. For long run, as regulators dey watch well well, e fit make supply chain transparency better but e no go change the main value weh Bitcoin get. Traders suppose see dis as one kain regulatory risk wey concern the sector only, no be as one big reason for Bitcoin price wahala.
