Global chipbalance threatens through Bitcoin mining industry, ASIC is intensified-mining Bitcoin messages
While Bitcoin's Hashrate fluctuates over 175 Exahash per second (EH/S) and recently reached an all -time high, a global lack of semiconductor chips could slow down the growing industry. The global supply of supply has disturbed large industries, and manufacturers such as the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) have experienced a loss of value of the shares. At the same time, manufacturers are dependent on application -specific integrated circuits (ASIC) on these chips.
Sustainable shortage shortage leads to exploding demand, US bureaucrats want to strengthen American competitiveness
In the past 12 months, Bitcoin mining companies have secured millions of dollars deals so that they can Pre-order thousands from ASIC-Bitcoin mining rigs. ASIC manufacturers such as Microbt, Bitmain and Canaan were batches Models for thousands operation of data facilities.
In the meantime, the semiconductor asic-bitcoin mining rigs are extremely difficult to get A Worldwide chipknappness . According to a survey by the US Ministry of Trade, companies only had five delivery days if they normally have 40 delivery days.
"In view of the exploding demand and the full utilization of existing production facilities, it is clear that the only solution for the long-term solution of this crisis is to rebuild our domestic production capacities," said Gina Raimondo, the US Minister of Trade, on Wednesday in press release . On the same day, reports showed that China Plant to found Shenzhen-Sourcing strategy for semiconductors.
china's problems with the USA and the shortage of semiconductors have reported to this America Competes Act from 2022 . The Reduced draft The United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, claim that the draft law could help to alleviate the concerns in the supply chain and the shortage of semiconductor by strengthening American competitiveness.
The bid administration agrees and the US President said the suggestions will be " Bringing jobs in the production industry back to the United States, and they focus directly on reducing the type of bottlenecks in the supply chain, such as semiconductors, which have led to higher prices for the middle class. ”
recently unveiled the next generation and sold -out units
In the meantime, the ASIC-Bitcoin mining-Rig manufacturer Bitmain has announced the introduction of two new Bitcoin mining machines in the past three months. In mid-November, Bitmain revealed the Antminer S19 XP and on the 17th January 2022 the company gave the market launch of Antminer S19 Pro+ Hyd .In addition, it was said that five companies had exclusive access to the pre -orders for S19 XP and that companies such as Greenidge Generation Holdings and Bitnile were two participants. None of the machines manufactured by Bitmain should be delivered before May and July 2022.
Two of the largest providers of ASIC-Bitcoin-Mining rigs, Bitmain and Microbet are sold out by most of their latest models. At the time of writing this article, Bitmain has Antminer S19J Pro (104 Th/S) machines that are available for spot orders at a price of $ 11,024 per machine with a maximum purchase limit of 50 units per user. The company promises that the units are sent within five working days after full payment.
Details on the Cananan website must ask the customer from a representative to find out more about available inventory. The ASIC manufacturer Innosilicon's offer is currently sold out according to the miners shopping area of the website. This means that interested customers deal with the secondary markets for ASIC-Bitcoin mining devices where mining rigs can be more expensive and the supply is not as good as with direct batches from the manufacturers.
At the moment, the semiconductor crisis did not affect the miners and and passport in chip supply Week has led to the fact that the shares of semiconductor companies have fallen, since some manufacturers such as TSMC, Qualcomm , and micron Seen Lose stocks .
What do you think of the scarcity of semiconductor chips? Do you think this could impair the supply of ASIC-Bitcoin miners in the future? Share your opinion on this topic in the comment area below.
