Tether Launches Open-Source Operating System for Bitcoin Mining Operations
Tether, the digital asset and financial technology company, has announced the launch of an open-source operating system designed to manage Bitcoin mining operations, in a move aimed at reducing miners’ reliance on proprietary software controlled by a limited number of providers and fostering greater competition within the mining sector.
The new system, called MiningOS (MOS), is designed to manage, monitor, and automate mining operations across a wide range of scales, from small home-based setups to large industrial mining facilities. The platform is built on a modular, peer-to-peer architecture, enabling mining operations to run without dependence on centralized services.
MOS integrates hardware management, energy consumption tracking, equipment health monitoring, and site infrastructure management into a single operating layer. This unified approach provides operators with a comprehensive view of their mining activities, replacing the need for multiple fragmented software solutions.
According to Tether, the system offers high flexibility and scalability across multiple geographic locations, while supporting a wide variety of mining hardware without locking users into a specific vendor or platform. MiningOS has been released under the Apache 2.0 open-source license.
Alongside the launch, Tether also introduced the Mining SDK, the software development framework underpinning the system, which will be further developed in collaboration with the open-source community.
The initiative forms part of Tether’s broader strategy to expand beyond stablecoins, as the company continues to strengthen its presence in mining, payments, and digital infrastructure, supported by strong profits recorded in 2025.
