If you have crypto related to computing power, pay attention—Trump is going to impose tariffs on chips, and the cost of the AI supply chain will change.

The news was revealed by the AI industry itself. It says Trump plans to tax chips in a “single stupid way,” and the entire industry was caught off guard. Chip giants are the first to be hit, and the cost structure of the AI industry chain will be directly rewritten.

What will the impact be? To be honest, in the short term it will suppress sentiment for crypto AI coins, because higher computing-power costs will squeeze the profit margins of mining rig makers and AI projects. But from another angle, if a chip tax drives up computing-power prices, it could actually benefit projects that already hold computing power—supply becomes more expensive, and existing computing power becomes more valuable.

The details haven’t been rolled out yet, so don’t jump to conclusions. But when positioning for an AI sector, be a bit cautious.
