“At @Tether_to Power we are proud of our collaboration with Swan Managed #Bitcoin Mining service. Swan has a super efficient team, which has managed a rapid increase in distributed hashrate and impressive reporting.”
Basically, with this partnership, Tether aims to expand its Bitcoin mining activities, choosing Swan for its performance.
And indeed, it seems that since August 2023, Swan Mining has spent over 330 million dollars to increase its mining capacity to 7.5 EH. In anticipation, Swan would like to increase this capacity to 19.5 EH this year and to about 100 EH by 2026.
The new Swan Managed Bitcoin Mining service, just launched, allows institutional investors to commit a minimum of $100 million in the Bitcoin mining ecosystem. With this service, the company aims to offer customized mining operations tailored to the specific needs of its clients, such as Tether.
At the moment, the amount of capital that Tether has decided to invest in the service has not been disclosed.
Tether (USDT): the crypto company chooses Swan to expand its operations in Bitcoin mining
The new Swan service, Managed Mining Bitcoin, aims to be a new tailored approach for investors, including institutional ones.
In this regard, Cory Klippsten, CEO of Swan, stated the following:
“Large capital allocators do not necessarily want to pool their capital with existing mining operations, nor are they able or interested in acquiring all the skills, talents, experience, and time to learn how to start their own mining operation. This is where Swan Managed Mining comes in. We can take a large amount of capital and deploy it quickly and efficiently into an investor-owned mining operation that meets their specific strategic requirements.”
At the same time, Tether has already dedicated significant capital to establish a major presence in Bitcoin mining, largely through Swan.
This commitment from the crypto company behind the largest stablecoin USDT, aims to demonstrate the quality of execution and the financial attractiveness of Swan’s model for large capital allocators.
