Tether and Adecoagro Unite to Power Bitcoin Mining with Renewable Energy in Brazil

Tether has teamed up with Latin American agro-industrial giant Adecoagro to pioneer a new chapter in renewable-powered Bitcoin mining. The two firms signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on July 3, 2025, aiming to transform Adecoagro’s surplus renewable energy—generated from sources like hydroelectric, solar, and biomass—into a sustainable fuel source for Bitcoin mining operations in Brazil.

With more than 230 megawatts of clean energy capacity, Adecoagro seeks to unlock additional value by directing excess power, often underutilized or sold on unpredictable spot markets, into crypto mining. The initiative is designed to stabilize the company’s energy revenue streams and gradually introduce Bitcoin as a treasury asset, mirroring its long-term approach to farmland investment. According to Adecoagro CEO Mariano Bosch, this move combines financial innovation with sustainability and grid efficiency.

Tether, for its part, will oversee the mining operations and deploy its proprietary Mining OS, a sophisticated software platform that manages mining hardware, energy consumption, and operational performance. This tool is expected to be made open-source in the near future, supporting broader industry transparency and adoption.

If fully realized, the project could contribute an estimated 6.9 EH/s (exahashes per second) to the global Bitcoin network—representing roughly 1.6% of its total hashrate. The companies are currently in the exploratory phase, conducting feasibility studies, environmental evaluations, and preparing for grid integration.

For Tether, this venture aligns with its broader goal of backing Bitcoin infrastructure with sustainable energy sources. For Adecoagro, it’s a calculated step into the digital asset space that leverages its green energy advantage. Together, they aim to create a scalable, low-carbon mining blueprint that bridges agriculture, renewable power, and blockchain technology—setting the stage for more environmentally responsible crypto solutions across Latin America.
