As Donald Trump prepares to fulfill a lengthy list of campaign promises, the president-elect’s vow to ensure that all remaining Bitcoin is “made in the USA” may prove to be one of the most challenging to keep.

Considerable roadblocks stand in Trump’s way to make good on his vow. Bitcoin mining is distributed across the world, particularly in places with cheap access to abundant energy needed to fuel the data centers needed to mine crypto.

Donald Trump’s “Made in USA” Bitcoin pledge is hitting the hard wall of blockchain reality. Back in June, the ‘crypto president’ posted on Truth Social that he wanted all remaining Bitcoin to be mined in the United States.
