Partnership Overview
Tether and Adecoagro, a leading agro-industrial company in South America, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore Bitcoin mining powered by renewable energy in Brazil. This collaboration aims to leverage Adecoagro’s 230+ MW of sustainable energy capacity for Bitcoin mining, aligning with global trends toward eco-friendly crypto operations.
Key Objectives:
- Sustainable Mining: Utilize excess renewable energy to power Bitcoin mining operations.
- Energy Market Stability: Provide a stable demand source for Adecoagro’s spot market energy sales.
- Strategic Expansion: Strengthen Tether’s footprint in sustainable Bitcoin mining initiatives.
Why This Collaboration Matters
1. Renewable Energy Integration
Bitcoin mining is increasingly adopting renewable energy to reduce its carbon footprint. Adecoagro’s existing infrastructure—spanning solar, hydro, and biomass—offers a ready-made solution for sustainable mining.
2. Economic Benefits for Adecoagro
Mariano Bosch, CEO of Adecoagro, highlights:
“This initiative allows us to stabilize energy pricing while gaining exposure to Bitcoin’s upside potential.”
Mining provides a predictable revenue stream compared to volatile spot markets.
3. Tether’s Mining Expertise
Tether’s open-source Bitcoin Mining Operating System (coming soon) will manage operations, ensuring efficiency and transparency. Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, emphasized:
“Our expanding portfolio of sustainable mining projects supports this innovative partnership.”
