New Tether-Adecoagro Collaboration to Leverage Green Energy for BTC Mining in Brazil

VISI.NEWS | BANDUNG - Tether, the company behind the widely used stablecoin USDT, has announced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Latin American agribusiness giant Adecoagro. The agreement paves the way for leveraging renewable energy to mine bitcoin in Brazil. According to a report by Crypto News on Friday (4/7/2025), this collaboration marks another step in utilizing bitcoin mining as a tool to monetize surplus energy. Beyond creating value from otherwise wasted resources, such initiatives can also help stabilize local power grids and promote the adoption of decentralized networks. Adecoagro, which currently operates renewable power generation capacity exceeding 230 MW, views this partnership as an opportunity to lock in energy prices, diversify its portfolio, and gain exposure to bitcoin’s potential long-term value. “This project allows us to stabilize some of the energy we currently sell on the spot market, secure pricing, and also benefit from bitcoin’s upside potential,” said Mariano Bosch, Co-founder and CEO of Adecoagro. The company plans to integrate bitcoin into its balance sheet as part of a broader strategy to view BTC as a new store of value. For its part, Tether will play a key role in helping Adecoagro align its renewable energy production with cutting-edge digital infrastructure. “This initiative represents the next step in our growing commitment to renewable-powered bitcoin mining and highlights the potential to harmonize agricultural energy output with advanced digital networks,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. By merging renewable energy with bitcoin mining, the partnership underscores how traditional industries in Latin America are beginning to embrace cryptocurrency not only as an investment asset but also as a strategic component of energy optimization. @ffr
