Odaily reported that KobeissiLetter analysis indicates Intel's share price surged approximately 9% in a single day after Trump announced the United States would design and manufacture chips domestically. This development represents a policy-level positive for the entire semiconductor industry, and market expectations suggest continued support for domestic wafer fabrication and advanced process investments.

This may have a potential impact on the mining hardware cycle. Therefore, Intel's capacity dynamics could be viewed as a "material revaluation signal" for the Bitcoin and crypto mining market.
