Bitcoin news: Miners get an open-source alternative as Tether launches MiningOS

Companies mentioned:

Quick Take
  • Tether released MiningOS as an open-source, modular, self-hosted stack for Bitcoin mining management.
  • MOS and a Mining SDK aim to standardize telemetry/control across mixed fleets, lowering integration costs and vendor lock-in.
  • Signals stablecoin issuers’ deeper move into mining infrastructure, pressuring proprietary management platforms.

Tether launched MiningOS, an open-source, modular, self-hosted software stack for Bitcoin mining, spanning home rigs to multi-site industrial operations and unveiled at the Plan ₿ Forum.

The move matters because it offers a standards-based management layer that can cut integration costs, reduce dependence on proprietary platforms, and unify telemetry, energy, and device control. The release includes MiningOS (MOS) and a Mining SDK available on GitHub, signaling a push toward API-driven interoperability and easier custom tooling for operators.

A self-hosted architecture also aligns with miners’ data-sovereignty and regulatory-risk preferences, while supporting sites that need granular energy curtailment and multi-vendor fleet management. For the industry, this steps up competition for closed-source suites and underscores stablecoin issuers’ growing role in mining infrastructure.
