#USDT Tether plans to open-source Bitcoin mining OS; CEO says 'no need' for 3rd party vendors.

The USDT issuer plans to launch its open-source project by the fourth quarter of 2025, according to CEO Paolo Ardoino.

Stablecoin issuer Tether plans to open-source its Bitcoin mining software, a move the company said would allow new miners to enter the market without relying on expensive third-party vendors.

By open-sourcing its Bitcoin Mining OS (MOS), “A horde of new Bitcoin mining companies will be able to enter the game and compete to keep the network safe,” Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said in a Monday X post. 

Ardoino described MOS as scalable and modular, “built with a peer-to-peer [Internet of Things] architecture at its core.” 

The new operating system will support existing mining infrastructure, including several containers and other power devices, he said. 

Ardoino said the project is expected to be rolled out by the fourth quarter of 2025.
