Tether & Adecoagro Turn Brazil’s Excess Green Power Into Bitcoin Gold
Tether just flipped the script on renewable energy waste—partnering with agriculture giant Adecoagro to mine Bitcoin with Brazil's stranded hydropower. Because why let perfectly good megawatts go to waste when you can mint digital gold?
Green Mining Goes Mainstream
The stablecoin issuer is deploying mobile mining rigs at Adecoagro's facilities, tapping into electricity that'd otherwise evaporate into the jungle humidity. No new infrastructure needed—just plugging containers into existing dams and solar arrays.
Wall Street's Still Scratching Its Head
While TradFi analysts debate whether 'crypto mining' belongs in ESG reports, Tether's quietly stacking sats using energy the grid can't even absorb. Another reminder that Bitcoin often innovates first, asks permission never.
The playbook's simple: follow the stranded power. From Texas flared gas to Paraguayan dams, miners are becoming the ultimate energy arbitrageurs—turning utilities' headaches into a $100K-per-BTC payday.
Because nothing terrifies bankers quite like watching 'speculative assets' monetize infrastructure better than they ever could.
