Mined in America Act Would Give US Bitcoin Miners a Policy Edge
GOP senators have introduced the Mined in America Act, a bill that would direct federal agencies to prioritize domestically mined Bitcoin for any government reserve holdings. The legislation also includes provisions to streamline permitting and establish clearer regulatory guidelines for the industry.
GOP senators have introduced the Mined in America Act, a bill that would direct federal agencies to prioritize domestically mined Bitcoin for any government reserve holdings. The legislation also includes provisions to streamline permitting and establish clearer regulatory guidelines for the industry. The framing matters: where regulators once treated Bitcoin mining as an environmental liability, this bill explicitly positions domestic hashrate as a national security asset. The strategic reserve provision is what changes mining economics. If the federal government becomes a buyer with a stated preference for provenance-verified, American-origin Bitcoin, that creates a demand signal with no precedent in the industry's history. Miners operating on US soil with documented energy sources and published output data would be structurally positioned to meet that standard. Ultra Labs mines Bitcoin in the Pacific Northwest on hydroelectric grid power at $0.052/kWh, with on-site solar generation coming online in summer 2026. Our first facility runs 50+ Bitmain hydro-cooled miners producing approximately 0.010 BTC per day with live stats published at ultra-labs.io/mining. In 2026 Ultra Labs aims to triple mining capacity as we bring Faciity 2 online. If domestic provenance becomes a policy requirement, the Ultra Labs profile fits the framework perfectly. The bill still has to clear committee, and the final language will almost certainly change. But the direction is unambiguous: Congress is treating Bitcoin mining as infrastructure, not speculation.
