🚀 Tether’s Ambitious Mining Push
1. Becoming the world’s top bitcoin miner in 2025
May 29, 2025, at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, Ardoino announced Tether’s intention to “become the largest Bitcoin miner in the world by end of this year,” with billions being invested in energy production and mining infrastructure .
Tether reported over $2 billion invested and holds 100,000 BTC, alongside substantial gold reserves .
Previous reports stated Tether set up a $500 million mining fund in 2023 aimed at reaching 1% of global hashrate, with plans for 120 MW by end‑2023 and 450 MW capacity by late 2025 .
In May 2025, Forbes confirmed Tether will invest billions more, targeting the crown among miners in hashrate ranking .
2. Infrastructure & Renewable Energy Approach
Mining operations are concentrated in Uruguay, Paraguay, and El Salvador, often tied to renewable/hydro/wind/geothermal energy — a strategic choice to reduce costs and improve regulatory sustainability credentials .
El Salvador not only hosts operations but is also home to Tether’s regional headquarters, supported by favorable political climate and geothermal power .
3. Democratizing mining via open-source software
Ardoino confirmed Tether will release its Bitcoin Mining OS (MOS) as open-source by Q4 2025, enabling smaller miners to join the ecosystem without cost-prohibitive vendor dependence .
MOS is modular, peer‑to‑peer based, IoT-driven, supporting from Raspberry Pi to large-scale rigs .
This effort echoes earlier development of “Moria,” a high-level orchestration tool using analytics and AI to optimize mining and energy systems .#MarketRebound #NEWTBinanceHODLer #IsraelIranConflict #BTC走势分析 $BTC
