Significant policy shift: The U.S. administration just imposed a 25% tariff on advanced computing chip imports, effective immediately. This moves straight to the heart of the mining ecosystem. Chip costs are already a major factor in mining profitability calculations—this tariff could ripple through hardware pricing for GPUs and ASICs. Whether you're running mining operations or tracking infrastructure costs in the crypto space, supply chain pressure is real now. The timing raises questions about how this reshapes the economics of proof-of-work networks globally.

With the chip tax coming, miners are directly going bankrupt. Now that costs have skyrocketed, who will take the blame?

25% tariff? Data shows that chip costs are going to rise again. Miners are already taking too much profit margin, which is unreasonable. However, this time, a pattern has truly been observed.

NGL, this time the miners are going to cry, as chip costs are skyrocketing.

25% tariff? This will directly cause the cost of mining machines to skyrocket, and chips will only become more expensive.

Once the chip tariffs are announced, miners are going to cry... GPU prices are going to rise again.
