Three days later, on July 3, Tether and Adecoagro S.A. announced their own MoU. This partnership builds on our shared interests to investigate innovative renewable-powered Bitcoin mining initiatives. For the partnership’s part, the goal is to use Adecoagro’s existing capacity of 350 MW renewable energy—mostly hydropower—to power Bitcoin mining operations in Brazil.

Adecoagro is one of the largest producers of sustainable agricultural products and renewable energy in South America. They view this move as a savvy way to gain Bitcoin exposure on their corporate balance sheet, thinking of it as a store of value the same way they view their farmland assets. Tether, the issuer of the world’s most well-known stablecoin USDT, is looking to continue its commitment to advancing Bitcoin mining’s responsible evolution through this partnership.

Renewable Energy for Digital Gold

Adecoagro has more than 230 MW of renewable energy capacity which can be used to support energy-intensive industries like Bitcoin mining. Tether and Adecoagro have a great plan to turn excess energy into digital gold.

"This project opens the door to stabilizing a portion of the energy we currently sell on the spot market, locking in pricing, while also gaining exposure to the upside potential of bitcoin." - Mariano Bosch, Chief Executive Officer of Adecoagro

The goal of this partnership is to power 100% of bitcoin miner Bitfarms’ operations with Adecoagro’s renewable energy sources. Tether and Adecoagro are looking into powering Bitcoin mining with renewable energy in Brazil.

Tether's Commitment to Sustainable Bitcoin Mining

Tether’s participation highlights its increasing dedication towards the fostering of sustainable Bitcoin mining practices. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino underscored the promise of this initiative to harmonize agricultural energy generation with digital infrastructure.

"This project is another step in our growing commitment to renewable-powered bitcoin mining and highlights the potential to align agricultural energy production with cutting-edge digital infrastructure. We believe this model can drive financial inclusion, promote energy efficiency, and serve as a blueprint for responsible innovation at the intersection of technology and sustainability." - Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether

TSX:TGH) and Adecoagro (NYSE:AGRO) had a transaction agreement. The transaction agreement will likely have Tether buying about 70% of Adecoagro’s outstanding shares.

Strategic Implications and Future Outlook

The partnership between Tether and Adecoagro is an exciting joining of old world agriculture with new world digital technology. By using underutilized renewable energy resources to power Bitcoin mining, the partnership wants to advance energy efficiency and sustainable financial inclusion.

This effort has the potential to be a blueprint for other companies interested in aligning sustainable practices with digital asset strategies. By using or supporting truly renewable energy, Bitcoin miners can overcome environmental criticisms tied to the energy-intensive process of mining.
