Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, has taken a significant step towards expanding its influence in cryptocurrency infrastructure. The company announced the public release of an open-source operating system it developed for Bitcoin mining.
Called “MiningOS (MOS)”, this new system aims to be an alternative for miners to supplier-controlled and closed-source software.
According to Tether, MOS enables the management, monitoring, and automation of operations of varying scales, from small-scale home mining setups to large industrial facilities, all through a single platform.
The company first signaled its intention to pursue this project last year, arguing that new miners should be able to compete without being dependent on expensive, closed systems. Similarly, Jack Dorsey’s company Block has also made efforts to support more open mining infrastructures.
MOS is built on a modular and peer-to-peer architecture, and its ability to operate without centralized services is noteworthy. The software integrates hardware management, energy usage, device health, and facility infrastructure into a single operational layer, offering miners greater control and visibility.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized that MiningOS aims to make Bitcoin mining more open, accessible, and scalable.
It was also announced that MOS is released under the Apache 2.0 open-source license and is designed to operate independently of hardware. Furthermore, it was stated that the Mining SDK, which forms the basis of the system, will be developed in collaboration with the open-source community in the coming months.
This step once again demonstrates that Tether is pursuing a broader strategy that is not limited to USDT but extends to areas such as mining, payment systems, and tokenized commodities.
