Bitmain Makes Power Play: First U.S. Crypto Mining Facility Set to Shake Up Energy Markets – Bloomberg
Bitmain just dropped a geopolitical chess move—planting its flag on U.S. soil with a crypto mining facility that'll guzzle megawatts like a Wall Street trader downs martinis.
The mining giant's stateside pivot signals two things: America's cheap energy is the new oil rush, and regulators better brace for the coming power grid tantrums.
While Texas flirts with bitcoin miners during blackouts, Bitmain's facility could turn into either a energy hog or a demand-response pioneer—depending on which lobbyists win the narrative war.
One thing's certain: when the first ASICs fire up, someone's electricity bill is going to moon harder than a shitcoin pump group's favorite token.
