Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino revealed that the company is on track to become \u201cprobably the biggest miner in the world\u201d by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

Ardoino acknowledged that, in most cases, direct BTC investment yields higher profits than mining, but emphasized Tether\u2019s strategic choice to participate in mining to protect its treasury and support Bitcoin\u2019s network security.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Mining Supremacy<\/h2>\n

In a recent interview with Bankless, Ardoino explained<\/a> that the stablecoin issuer already holds significant Bitcoin reserves and therefore has an incentive to contribute to the network\u2019s decentralization through mining operations across South America, the United States, and other regions.<\/p>\n

Ardoino highlighted the importance of maintaining a mining presence in the US during what he described as a \u201cmonumental time\u201d for the industry.<\/p>\n

On profitability, the exec noted that while block rewards will eventually drop to zero, on-chain fees are expected to rise significantly, which will turn the Bitcoin main chain into a settlement layer for Lightning channels and major contracts. He suggested that these contracts would underpin an \u201cenormous amount\u201d of transactions.<\/p>\n

In line with Tether\u2019s broader efforts to promote<\/a> decentralization, it announced<\/a> plans to open-source its Bitcoin Mining OS (MOS) last month to help new miners enter the market without costly vendor reliance. Ardoino had then described MOS as scalable, modular, and built on peer-to-peer IoT architecture, which is designed to support existing mining infrastructure like containers and power devices.<\/p>\n

The rollout is expected by the fourth quarter of 2025. The exec said this move would help more companies to compete in securing the Bitcoin network.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the company partnered with Ocean mining pool to decentralize block building by committing its current and future hash rate to the protocol.<\/p>\n

Tether\u2019s Gold Reserves<\/h2>\n

Alongside its aggressive mining ambitions, Tether has been quietly expanding its reserve strategy beyond Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

In fact, Ardoino recently revealed that the firm holds approximately $8\u202fbillion in gold, which is around 80 tonnes, in a Swiss vault he described as \u201cthe most secure vault in the world.\u201d The exec added that Tether owns nearly the entire stockpile, which makes it one of the largest private gold holders globally. Gold now comprises almost 5% of Tether\u2019s $112\u202fbillion reserves, on par with UBS\u2019s precious\u2011metals holdings.<\/p>\n
