Bitcoin mining companies in the US are facing delays in importing Antminer ASIC mining machines from Bitmain. According to a report from Blockspace, shipments are being held at several ports, including San Francisco and Detroit, with wait times of up to two months. 🕒

Although the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has confirmed the hold, the specific reason has not yet been disclosed. Some sources suggest that this may be related to Sophgo chips in the Antminer control board, as Sophgo is suspected of violating U.S. sanctions by supplying chips to Huawei. 🤔

Currently, the affected companies are seeking legal solutions to clarify this issue.
