Tether taps Canaan and ACME Swisstech for modular Bitcoin mining infrastructure

Tether is enhancing its Bitcoin mining infrastructure by partnering with Canaan and ACME Swisstech to develop modular, high-density compute systems. This new approach moves away from fully assembled mining rigs, instead integrating application-specific hash board modules into Tether's control architecture, thermal management, and software. The design separates compute from power and enclosure, allowing for independent optimization of each layer to reduce energy overhead, improve availability, and provide operators with greater control over performance. This modular system aims to replace the traditional fixed model of large-scale mining operations, enabling component-level tuning, cooling, and upgrades, particularly optimized for immersion cooling. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino highlighted that this revisioning of mining infrastructure allows for direct control over cost, efficiency, and performance at scale. ACME Swisstech President Giv Zanganeh noted the industrial design approach for large-scale operations, while Canaan CEO Nangeng Zhang emphasized the growing demand for flexible, high-performance hardware integration.
