Key Takeaways:
Tether released MOS (Mining Operating System), which is made to manage large Bitcoin mining farms.
MOS allows miners to control hardware, energy usage, and maintenance from a single dashboard, working on everything from a small Raspberry Pi.
Tether wants to help small miners compete with huge corporations by giving away this tool for free.
Tether is known for issuing USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin. But today, at the Plan ₿ Forum 2026 in El Salvador, the company published a new ambition:they want to become the core of Bitcoin mining. Tether launched MOS, a new Mining Operating System that is open-source.
From Raspberry Pi to Industrial Giants
The most impressive thing about MOS is flexibility. It uses a peer-to-peer protocol, which means that the computers talk to each other and don’t need any central server. This design will make the software scalable.
According to Tether, MOS works well on a single Raspberry Pi computer at home, and is equal to an enormous facility with hundreds of thousands of miners. It is serverless and built with modular workers. It means that if one part of the system needs to be updated or fixed, it won’t crash anything else.
Tether also introduced the Mining SDK. This is a toolkit for software developers. It provides ready-made codes (APIs) and a user interface kit so that programmers can build other new mining applications.

The CEO of Tether said that the logic behind this launch is: “MOS makes mining infrastructure open, modular, and accessible,” he said. “From small home operators to industrial sites, we want to ensure no one is dependent on closed, third-party software.”
The Linux Moment for Mining?
Tether used its own experience on mining farms and facilities to build this standard for the mining field. We can recall this strategy to Linux, which became the standard operating system for the internet servers. Linux made software that was free and open for all.
Tether wants to make it easier for everyone to approach thís field. This allows new players to participate in the market, so that Tether can compete with other giants like Marathon Digital.
This is a good sign for the health of Bitcoin. If mining becomes too concentrated in the hands of a few big companies, the network becomes less secure. In 2025, small miners only controlled 54% of the market share. Tether wants to protect and grow that number as well. By providing these professional tools for free, they enable these smaller players to stay efficient and profitable without joining centralized pools in big companies.
