Retaliatory Tariffs Trigger a Plunging Plunge in U.S. Stocks. Is It Necessarily Bad News for BTC?

On April 4, 2025, U.S. President Trump announced the latest tariff measures, imposing tariffs that exceeded expectations on almost all trading partners indiscriminately. The U.S. stock market plummeted by over 1,000 points after his speech, with a market value of $3 trillion evaporating instantly. This created the most shocking single-week decline in five years. Compared to the plunge in U.S. stocks, Bitcoin, which has a very strong correlation with U.S. stocks, has actually performed better than the stocks themselves. Bloomberg was astonished by the resilience shown by Bitcoin, and Arthur Hayes also believed that Bitcoin might have reached a safe position, waiting for an upward adjustment.

How did the U.S. tariff increase affect the U.S. stock market and Bitcoin? Why do some experts believe that although this tariff increase caused a plunge in important global assets, it was a signal of turning from bad to good for Bitcoin?

The global trade network has long been a stable web. Now, by announcing the imposition of reciprocal tariffs on countries around the world, the U.S. is essentially pulling on the entire web. This has led global investors, seeing such an unstable economic trend, to adjust their assets. This is a manifestation of people’s lack of security regarding the unpredictable governance style of the Trump administration. Among Trump’s many unpredictable decisions, the adjustment of tariffs may be the one that has the greatest negative impact. Now that the tariff issue has been settled, there is nothing left that could cause more discomfort for Bitcoin. Therefore, cryptocurrency observers believe that this is a turning point for Bitcoin’s future market to turn from bad to good.

For BTC, which is a long-term high-yield but short-term highly volatile investment target, if you are also bullish on it, BITMARS recommends several ASICs with low shutdown prices and high cost-effectiveness to you.

The ANTMINER S21 series is the absolute king of energy efficiency ratios among BTC ASICs, and this brand’s machines are comprehensively strong and trusted by miners. Taking the ANTMINER S21 XP 270T  as an example, it currently mines about 0.0001404BTC per day, worth about $12. When the electricity price is 6 cents, the shutdown price is approximately $38,000.

The WHATSMINER M60/M50, on the other hand, has the advantage of maintaining good working conditions under extreme weather, with the WHATSMINER M60S  as a case in point. It has been proven that in the cold weather of North America or in the large diurnal temperature difference of the Middle East, this machine has a very low failure rate, which helps to reduce overall costs. Additionally, its hardware total cost is not high, and it currently mines about 0.00009672BTC per day, easy to payback. When the electricity price is 6 cents, the shutdown price is approximately $52,000. For miners in the Middle East with electricity subsidies, if the electricity cost is controlled at 2 cents, the shutdown price can be as low as $17,500.
