Tether is quietly building the mining stack.
Open-source Mining OS, full control of farms, and a clear push toward energy-heavy computing.
So yeah, Tether just unveiled Mining OS — an open-source operating system designed to run industrial-scale $BTC mining. Not a plugin, not a dashboard on top of ten tools, but a full system to monitor hashrate, energy usage, hardware health, and infrastructure in one place.
This is bigger than it sounds. Mining operators usually juggle fragmented software, blind spots, and duct-taped automation. Tether is proposing a unified brain for mining farms. And when the world’s biggest stablecoin issuer builds infrastructure, it’s never “just for fun”.
What really matters is the direction. Tether isn’t hiding it anymore: they see mining as a strategic asset. Not only for securing Bitcoin, but for energy-intensive computation, including AI. Same power, same cooling, same logic — different workloads.
Their ambition? 450 MW of mining capacity and about 1% of Bitcoin’s global hashrate. That’s no side quest. That’s nation-state scale thinking, just executed by a private company printing USDT.
People still think Tether is only a stablecoin. In reality, it’s slowly turning into an energy + compute giant hiding in plain sight. Pas très discret, mais très efficace. ⚙️🔥
