According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, Tether is building a gateway for new players to take part in Bitcoin mining by releasing Bitcoin Mining OS (MOS) as open source software by the end of 2025.
In a June 9th post on X, Ardoino explained that the move would reduce barriers for small, independent miners. Tether hopes to release the MOS code to promote greater competition in securing the Bitcoin network.
According to him:
“A horde of new Bitcoin mining companies can compete to get involved in games and keep their networks safe. No more third-party host software is needed. MOS creates a uniform arena that reduces the gap between publicly available companies and small players.”
However, it takes time for release. Ardoino said the company must first prepare technical documents. This could result in delays in launches until the fourth quarter of this year.
What is Tether’s Bitcoin Mining OS?
Tether’s vice president of energy and mining, Giw Zanganeh explained that the open source release will allow miners of all sizes to manage and optimize their operations without relying on external vendors.
He added:
“I think the underlying Mining OS architecture will become an industry standard over the next few years due to its resilience and scalable structure.”
Tether’s mining software is designed to simplify operations. Removes the need for third-party management tools and can be adapted to any mining scale. MOS can handle everything from a basic Raspberry PI setup to a huge farm with redundant servers.
The system already includes built-in modules for controlling common mining hardware and managing various cooling environments. Additionally, developers can create new plugins for specific devices.
AI Integration
Tether will also integrate the distributed AI platform QVAC into MOS. This enhances performance reporting and helps miners fine-tune their operations using real-time data.
Beyond the large corporate players, Ardoino hopes that once free open source tools are available, many small businesses with surplus powers will enter mining.
Meanwhile, the move is part of a broad diversification beyond Tether’s core stub coin product, USDT, into other sectors such as artificial intelligence, bitcoin mining and crypto education.
Ardoino described these initiatives as part of a major ambition to make Tether dominant power in the global financial system beyond Crypto Sphere.
