Tether announced that it has open-sourced its Bitcoin mining software stack, including Mining OS (MOS), an operating system designed to manage and monitor mining operations. 

The announcement was made at the 2026 Plan ₿ Forum in San Salvador.

According to the company, MOS is intended to consolidate operational data from mining hardware, power systems, and site infrastructure into a single management layer. 

The system monitors metrics such as hashrate, energy usage, equipment condition, and site-level performance, with the goal of reducing reliance on multiple separate software tools.

Tether stated that MOS is built with a modular, peer-to-peer architecture and can be deployed across different scales of mining operations.

The company said the system can run on lightweight hardware for smaller installations or be used to manage large-scale sites with a high number of mining devices.

Alongside MOS, Tether announced the Mining SDK, the software framework used to build the operating system. 

The company said the SDK will be finalized and released in collaboration with the open-source community in the coming months.

The Mining SDK includes reusable components, application programming interfaces, and a user interface development kit intended to support the creation of mining-related tools and dashboards.

“Mining OS, MOS, is built to make Bitcoin mining infrastructure more open, modular, and accessible. Whether it’s a small operator running a handful of machines or a full-scale industrial site, the same operating system can scale without reliance on centralized, third-party software,” said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. 

“By open-sourcing our mining software stack, we’re enabling new mining companies to enter the ecosystem, customize their operations, and compete on more equal footing, which ultimately strengthens the resilience of the Bitcoin network.”

Tether stated that MOS is available as a production-ready operating system, while the Mining SDK is being released as open-source software to support external development and collaboration.
