According to Paolo Ardoino (@paoloardoino), Tether will move to open-source its Bitcoin Mining OS (MOS), enabling a wider range of Bitcoin mining companies to directly participate without relying on third-party hosted software. This development is expected to create a more competitive mining landscape and level the playing field, which could have implications for Bitcoin network security and miner decentralization. Crypto traders should monitor potential changes in mining difficulty, hash rate distribution, and the resulting effects on Bitcoin price volatility and transaction fees as more players enter the mining sector (source: Paolo Ardoino, Twitter, June 9, 2025).

According to BitMEX Research, a Bitcoin mining operation was conducted using a Bitaxe device on a Boeing 787 flying over Afghanistan, achieving a hash rate of up to 500Gh/s. This demonstrates the versatility and portability of mining hardware, showing potential for decentralized mining operations even in transit. Such advancements could influence the allocation of mining resources and strategies globally.
