Tether and Adecoagro have announced a collaboration to explore renewable energy-powered Bitcoin mining in Brazil, aiming to enhance energy efficiency and boost decentralized networks.
Strategic Collaboration for Sustainable Bitcoin Mining
Tether Holdings, a prominent player in the digital asset industry, and Adecoagro S.A., a leading sustainable production company in South America, have unveiled plans to harness renewable energy for Bitcoin (BTC) mining in Brazil. This initiative, disclosed in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), seeks to utilize surplus energy to bolster grid stability and support decentralized networks, according to [Tether](https://tether.io/news/tether-and-adecoagro-to-power-bitcoin-mining-with-renewable-energy-in-brazil/).
Unlocking New Efficiencies
Mariano Bosch, Co-Founder and CEO of Adecoagro, expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its potential to stabilize energy pricing and offer exposure to Bitcoin's growth potential. The collaboration is expected to maximize the value of Adecoagro's renewable energy assets, leveraging them to support the digital economy.
Tether’s Role in the Initiative
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, emphasized the company's commitment to renewable-powered Bitcoin mining.

This approach aims to drive financial inclusion and promote energy efficiency.
Potential Impact and Future Prospects
Adecoagro's renewable energy capacity exceeds 230 MW across South America. By integrating Bitcoin mining into its energy strategy, the company aims to monetize surplus energy and recognize Bitcoin as a potential long-term value asset. The project will utilize Tether's Mining OS for site management, which will be open-sourced soon.
