🪙 Paolo Ardoino stated that Tether plans to become the world’s largest Bitcoin miner by the end of 2025. According to him, mining is not only a source of revenue but also a strategic way to protect the company’s investments — especially given that Tether already holds over 100 000 BTC.
While directly buying BTC is generally more profitable, Tether believes it's essential to contribute to the security of the Bitcoin network.
The company does not disclose its hashrate, but since 2023, it has invested over $2 billion in mining and energy infrastructure across Latin America, launching 15 projects in Uruguay, Paraguay, and El Salvador.
