US GOP Senators Introduce "Mined in America Act" to Boost Crypto Mining and Codify Bitcoin Reserve

Republican Sens. Cynthia Lummis and Bill Cassidy unveiled the "Mined in America Act" on Monday to expand digital asset mining's role in the U.S. economy. The proposal would also write into law President Donald Trump's executive order establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve. It further directs the Commerce Department to create a voluntary certification program for mining pools and facilities, including a requirement for certified sites to move away from equipment made by firms tied to foreign adversaries.
