**News Flash: US Customs Delays Bitmain Antminer Deliveries**

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is holding up shipments of Bitmain Antminer ASICs at several US ports, causing delays for some American Bitcoin mining companies. These miners have been waiting for their equipment for up to two months. The latest Antminer S21 and T21 models are affected, with the CBP reportedly acting on a request from the US Federal Communications Commission.

One company has already incurred over $200,000 in holding fees for 200 ASICs. The delays may be linked to a US Department of Commerce investigation involving Bitmain-related chip designer Sophgo. Other Chinese manufacturers' ASICs are not experiencing similar holds.
