Tether Holdings, a leading cryptocurrency company, has partnered with Adecoagro to explore the use of clean energy for Bitcoin mining. As announced in a blog post, the two companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to start the pilot project in Brazil. The goal is to integrate clean energy with blockchain technology innovatively and efficiently. This project is part of a larger global trend in which countries and large mining firms are transitioning to clean and renewable energy sources to generate power. Turning Extra Renewable Energy into Digital Value Adecoagro generates over 230 megawatts of electricity using renewable sources. This includes biomass and biogas from its agricultural operations across South America. Some of this energy is sold on the open market when it is not needed for internal use. However, selling electricity this way can result in unpredictable prices and unstable returns. With this new project, Adecoagro aims to explore whether utilizing some of its excess electricity for cryptocurrency mining can generate additional value. Bitcoin mining typically requires a steady power supply to run powerful computers that secure the crypto network. This process could provide Adecoagro with a new way to generate a steady income from energy that might otherwise go to waste. This would also help balance energy use and reduce strain on local grids. Tether and Adecoagro To Combine Expertise in Mining Venture Tether, which holds a major stake in Adecoagro , has a strong background in digital assets and has launched several Bitcoin mining projects powered by renewable energy. The South American company, on the other hand, possesses strong skills in managing energy and sustainable farming practices. Together, they will utilize their combined knowledge to develop and manage this project. The mining site will use special software called Mining OS, created by Tether, to manage the operations. This software will also be made publicly available in the coming months to support transparency and collaboration within the industry. Adecoagro Sees Bitcoin as a Long-Term Asset This pilot project is not only about using energy more efficiently. It is also part of Adecoagro’s plan to begin gaining exposure to Bitcoin as a possible long-term store of value. The company already views farmland as a strong long-term investment. It now wants to see if the flagship crypto can offer similar value over time. By mining Bitcoin directly, Adecoagro can begin adding digital assets to its balance sheet in a controlled and strategic way. Furthermore, Adecoagro has rules for working with related companies. The project has been reviewed and approved by the company’s independent team. This is to ensure that the process is clear and fair. While the project is still in its early stages, both Tether and Adecoagro plan to continue working together to develop the mining site and gather data, they promised to share more updates with the public as the project moves forward.
