Paolo Ardoino claims Tether will provide an open-source Bitcoin mining operating system that will empower small and medium-sized miners
Stablecoin issuer Tether plans to open source its bitcoin mining operating system (MOS) to allow mining companies of all sizes to run and manage their infrastructure without relying on third-party software, CEO Paolo Ardoino said Monday.
Designed to optimally manage and scale Bitcoin mining operations, Tether's MOS unifies all the important elements of a mining platform into a peer-to-peer serverless network, enabling seamless communication between devices.
According to Ardoino, the mining software platform has a peer-to-peer IoT architecture that can operate at various scales, from small Raspberry PI installations to large facilities managing hundreds of thousands of miners.
Ardoino hopes that the decision to open source MOS will help level the playing field between small and large mining operators. In other words, it will give small and mid-sized players the tools to compete with the industry giants.
Tether's CEO also sees the move as a way to improve the decentralization and security of the network, as more participants will be able to join, keeping it secure.
“A multitude of new Bitcoin mining companies will be able to enter the game and compete to secure the network. There is no longer a need for third-party hosting software,” Ardoino said in a post on X on Monday. “MOS will create a level playing field by closing the gap between publicly traded companies and smaller players.”
Ardoino added that future developments could include integration with artificial intelligence tools to improve production and efficiency analysis using data generated by the mining OS.
The team is currently working on documentation, user guides, and preparing repositories for community access. As Ardoino noted, the release is planned for Q4 2025.
In recent years, Tether has expanded its activities beyond stablecoins to include artificial intelligence, bitcoin mining, and education.
By mid-2025, Tether will have invested about $2 billion in bitcoin mining and energy businesses, Ardoino said in a speech at the Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas.
“We’ve invested $2 billion in energy production, and Bitcoin mining is actually a little bit more,” Ardoino said. “We’ve been shy about saying this for a long time, but I think it’s likely that by the end of the year, Tether will be the largest Bitcoin miner in the world, even among all public companies.”
