Mined in America Act of 2026
The Mined in America Act of 2026 establishes a voluntary certification program for Bitcoin mining facilities and pools to ensure they use hardware manufactured in the United States or friendly nations, rather than from foreign adversaries. The program requires operators to meet specific hardware sourcing standards that phase out foreign adversary equipment by 2030, maintain cybersecurity protocols, and participate in U.S.-based mining pools. Certified facilities become eligible for priority access to federal loan, grant, and procurement programs through the Department of Energy and Agriculture. The bill also creates a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve within the Treasury Department, allowing the government to acquire mined Bitcoin from certified sources without recognizing capital gains, and authorizes the use of staking rewards from digital asset stockpiles to fund Bitcoin acquisitions.
