@IraHeatBeat Another offseason, another masterclass by the Heat in building anticipation and delivering disappointment—five years running. Might be time to move on from most of the front office. They can join the Dolphins, the other Miami franchise that’s had a long-term lease on my mental.

Why mine Bitcoin?

We're celebrating Compass Mining’s 5th anniversary by turning the spotlight on our community: tell us what Bitcoin mining means to you.

[Erick Fenelus @bitcoinErickF]

Bitcoin doesn’t promise utopia. But in a world too often divided by man-made lines, it reminds us that value, true value, needs no permission to exist.

It just needs freedom.

Compass Mining’s @vmackenchery3 met with Rep. Jack Bergman @RepJackBergman and other lawmakers today on the Hill to discuss how the U.S. can become the “crypto capital of the world,” in President Trump’s words.

Meanwhile, Ryan Brisch is out delivering miners to customers before his next Hill meeting.

That’s how we do it — mining advocacy and uptime, side by side 🇺🇸

The more you know 💡

🚨 Tariffs & Bitcoin Mining Hardware 🚨

Following up on the White House’s April 11th, 2025, update regarding tariff exceptions under EO 14257, let's dive into the implications for ASIC miners imported into the U.S.

In 2018, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) classified ASIC miners under HTSUS code 8543.70.9860 per ruling N297495. Despite attempts in 2019 and 2020 to appeal that classification, it remains unchanged.

After the recent White House update, Compass Mining and our Strategic partner CM Global services have received numerous inquiries about HTSUS code 8471, which was included in the tariff exemption update, leading some to believe ASIC miners might be covered.

To be clear, they are not covered.

ASIC miners still fall under 8543.70.9860, and that classification was not included in the April 11th exceptions.

As of today (April 15, 2025), ASIC miners face a 2.6% import duty under N297495, with additional tariffs of 25% and 125% for Chinese-origin goods, and 10% for other countries, effective retroactively to April 10, 2025.

At Compass Mining, we’re dedicated to providing clear, proactive guidance to our partners, so please feel free to DM if you have any questions about tariff classifications or import procedures.
