According to CoinMeta, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated at the Plan in Lugano on Forum 2026 that the company holds 150,000 Bitcoin coins and has a mining computing power of over 50 EH /s. He mentioned that Tether has also collaborated with partners to establish one of the largest mining enterprises in the world and has open-sourced the mining framework. He also believes that the fact that Bitcoin generates a block every ten minutes is not a disadvantage; rather, it allows even remote villages to download blocks, thereby achieving financial inclusion.
