New era in Bitcoin mining? Tether and Trump with mega plans

The Bitcoin mining is facing a turning point. With Tethers aggressive plans and the Trump family as a new player, the industry could change significantly.

Hut 8 brings technological power, Tether the capital – and Trump politics. Is now threatening a centralization or does a new growth phase begin?

Bitcoin mining reached new heights in 2025

In the latest development Tether-CEO Paolo Ardoinino plans announced to provide 450 MW mining capacity by the end of the year to reach 1 percent of the global hashates. This goal is supported by the financial basis of USDT, with a market capitalization of $ 157 billion. The company had previously planned to Bitcoin Mining OS (MOS) to Q4 2025 as open source software too publish.

“Even many small/medium -sized companies that produce their electricity themselves (solar, …) will soon be with the surplus mines. Mos will make your life easier.” Paolo Ardoino divided.

Tether's announcement comes when the Bitcoin Hashrates dropped to an 8-month low of 684.48 EH/S, the lowest since October 2024, whereby mining difficulty is expected to fall by 9.5 percent from 126.41T to 114.40t on June 29, 2025 Sea Coinwarz. The disturbance in the BitcoinMining falls together with US military campaigns in Iran.

According to data from Bitcoin Treasuries holds Tether currently over 100,000 Bitcoin (BTC) worth around 10.8 billion USD. This sparks violent competition and accelerates the centralization trend because large companies overtake individual miners.

As a result, Bitcoin-Miner sell shares to maintain the upward trend in view of increasing market instability, as reported by BeinCrypto.

On March 31, 2025, the leading infrastructure mining company Hut 8 went a partnership with American Bitcoin One that was founded by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. The goal was to do Donald Trump's public support for Cryptocurrencies to use.

This cooperation brings new capital and Technology With itself, which could potentially add 5–10 EH/S to the global hashrate. This is of crucial importance, since the mining costs rose by over 34 percent in the second quarter of 2025-due to rising electricity prices, as previously reported by BeinCrypto.

Advantages and challenges

Technically speaking, the participation of HUT 8 and Tether could slow down the reduction of difficulty if the hashrate quickly recovers thanks to advanced technologies such as the optimized cooling systems from HUT 8 that reduce energy costs.

At the same time, crypto-friendly policies that Trump could advance could support this growth in a re-election, including tax incentives. Tether also invests 1 Mrd. USD in green mining infrastructure in El Salvador, in harmony with global sustainability trends.

However, remain loud EIA The challenges considerably because industrial demand for electricity in the USA increases, which exerts pressure on miners and large operators such as Hut 8 and Tether will benefit from scale effects.

While the Bitcoin course is stable at 105,000 USD and the US stock market declines, the mining industry is facing a great chance. However, success depends on effective cost management and compliance with regulatory requirements.
