Stablecoin issuer Tether has released its own Bitcoin mining software. It is called MiningOS. The company says it will make mining easier and more open for everyone.

This is another step beyond stablecoins for Tether. The firm is now pushing deeper into Bitcoin infrastructure.

Tether announced the launch on Monday in a post on X. It described MiningOS as a flexible system. It is built for both small home miners and large industrial players.

The company said the goal is to lower entry barriers. It also wants miners to rely less on closed and expensive tools.

Tether said the mining industry has been controlled by locked systems for too long. MiningOS is meant to bring openness and transparency. The company says there are no black boxes and no forced lock in.

MiningOS is fully open source. It has been released under the Apache 2.0 license. This means anyone can use it, change it, or share it freely.

The software runs on peer to peer technology. Devices can talk directly to each other. There is no need for central servers or outside service providers.

Tether said miners can run everything on their own systems. They do not need cloud platforms. This gives them more control and better privacy.

The company believes this setup improves reliability. It also reduces risks linked to third party tools.

MiningOS comes with tools to manage mining operations. Miners can track machine performance. They can monitor energy use and cooling systems. Everything can be handled from one dashboard.

The system is modular. Features can be added or removed based on need. This allows miners to customize setups without rebuilding everything.

Tether’s CEO said MiningOS can scale easily. He said it works for home setups and large industrial sites. It can even run across multiple locations.

Tether first talked about this project last year. At the time, the company said new miners should be able to compete without paying high fees to vendors.

With this release, Tether wants to reduce dependence on paid mining software. Many existing platforms charge monthly fees.

Tether also said MiningOS works with many types of mining hardware. It is not limited to a single brand or system.

The launch fits into Tether’s larger Bitcoin strategy. Over the past year, the company has expanded into AI, tokenization, and decentralized finance. It has also increased its Bitcoin and gold holdings.

While Tether reduced some mining activity due to high energy costs, this project focuses only on software. It does not require owning mining machines.

Tether says MiningOS is meant to be a long term contribution. The company believes open tools can make mining simpler and more accessible.

As mining becomes more expensive and complex, Tether argues that open source software could help keep Bitcoin mining decentralized.
