Coin Circle (120BTC.CoM): With the recent sharp rebound in Bitcoin prices and the upcoming new round of halving events in April next year, Bitcoin-related companies have all shown an upward trend. Among them, the stock prices of "mining companies" that are most sensitive to Bitcoin prices have once outperformed BTC, becoming the biggest winner in the bear market.

Against this background, according to the latest report from Bloomberg, Paolo
Ardoino, the new CEO of Tether, the issuer of stablecoin USDT, said in an interview recently that Tether plans to spend about US$500 million in the next six months to build its own mining pool and invest in other mining companies to enter the mining field in a big way.

Tether holds a large position in German miner Northern Data

Regarding Tether's entry into mining companies, Ardoino added: We are committed to becoming part of the Bitcoin mining ecosystem, and when it comes to expansion, building new substations and new mines, we are extremely serious.

Bloomberg pointed out that as part of this investment, after acquiring German listed miner Northern
Data in September, Tether also provided a credit line of US$610 million to the Frankfurt-based mining company this month.

At the same time, Bloomberg also stated that Tether, as a crypto company with extremely strong financial strength, will inevitably intensify competition for the supply of deflationary tokens once it enters the mining field, and will open up new profit channels for Tether.

Tether is building a Bitcoin mine

According to Ardoino, Tether is currently building Bitcoin mines in Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador, each with a capacity of 40 to 70 megawatts, with the goal of occupying 1% of the computing power of the Bitcoin network.

However, Ardoino did not disclose the specific time to achieve this goal, but as a reference, we know that the current largest listed Bitcoin mining company Marathon Digital accounts for about 4% of Bitcoin computing power.

Regarding Tether's ambitious goal, Jaran Mellerud, CEO of Bitcoin mining data and research company Miner Metrics, said: A 1% market share could put Tether among the top 20 Bitcoin mining companies in the world. Given Tether's importance and financial strength in the entire crypto ecosystem, its market share may even far exceed its 1% goal over time.

Mining can make a steady profit? 

However, Bloomberg also reported that since the cryptocurrency crash last year, Bitcoin miners have been in a funding shortage for a long time. The two largest mining companies, Computer North and Core
Scientific, have also declared bankruptcy one after another. The leverage needs to be noted.

In addition, for Tether, the current entry into the mining field will also face many challenges:

 With the increase in mining machines, the difficulty of mining has also increased. This year's computing power requirements have exceeded historical highs many times! This also indicates that the competition among mining companies will be more intense

 The increase in mining costs will lead to a decrease in profit margins, and the halving of Bitcoin next year will also significantly reduce mining rewards. In other words, if the coin price cannot react in time, the profit will be greatly reduced.

However, Miner
Metrics CEO Mellerud has confidence in Tether: As a private company that can generate a lot of cash even in a bear market, Tether has a unique advantage in making large-scale counter-cyclical investments.

Finally, Ardoino also added: For us, mining is something we must continue to learn and grow over time. We are not in a hurry to become the world's largest miner.
