Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed by the end of the year (EOY) that the company will release a Bitcoin Mining OS (MO) under an open source license. This operating system is designed to work on a scale, from small home setups to fully industrial mining farms with hundreds of thousands of machines.

Ardoino said a new version of the OS is currently being tested. It was said that the MOS has a modular peer-to-peer IoT architecture that supports a variety of setups, including air cooling, immersion, and various electrical and cooling systems.
Tether’s goal is to reduce reliance on third-party vendors as MoS provides autonomy over its infrastructure, breaks reliance on its own software providers, and reduces vendor lock-in.
With the release of the mining OS, Tether aims to lower the threshold for new and small miners. Furthermore, a more globally distributed minor base makes Bitcoin more resilient and safer against centralisation risk.
The MOS is expected to integrate with Tether’s decentralized AI platform QVAC, allowing real-time performance reporting and optimization via machine learning. Not long ago, Aldoino said by the end of 2025, Tether would become the world’s largest Bitcoin miner, surpassing public mining companies.
Beyond mining OS
On September 1, 2025, Tether will suspend USDT redemption and freeze remaining balances for Algorand, EOS, Omni, Kusama and Bitcoin Cash SLP. These are considered “legacy” chains with reduced use and low liquidity.
The platform is primarily refocused on networks with strong developer activity and scalability, mainly Ethereum, Tron, and Select Layer-2.
A few months ago, Tether partnered with the Ocean Mining Pool to explicitly assign a hash power intended to decentralize block production. Additionally, Tether recently acquired a 70% stake in South American farming company Adecoagro for around $600 million. The intention is to integrate USDT into commodity transactions, streamline cross-border settlements, and perhaps leverage the renewable energy of Bitcoin mining.
Speaking of USDT, it is a major global stubcoin that accounts for more than 60% of the market, with a market capitalization of over $160 billion and daily trading volumes of over $150 billion.
