The company announced it will deploy both its current and future hashrate to OCEAN. OCEAN is a Bitcoin mining pool launched by longtime Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr.
This marks a bold step in Tether’s mission to support decentralization, transparency, and resilience in Bitcoin mining and the broader network.
Tether Backs Decentralized Bitcoin Mining with OCEAN
What sets OCEAN apart is its use of the open-source DATUM protocol, which lets miners create their block templates. That cuts out middlemen, boosts transparency, and strengthens Bitcoin’s defenses against censorship. Tether will use OCEAN’s DATUM Gateway software to ensure high-performance mining, even in places with weak internet connections.
“As a company committed to financial freedom and open access, we see supporting decentralization in Bitcoin mining as essential to the network’s long-term integrity,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “Deploying hashrate to OCEAN aligns with both our mining investments and our broader mission to fortify Bitcoin against centralizing forces.”

Tether isn’t just dipping its toes in the water — it’s diving in headfirst. The company will roll out the DATUM Gateway across its mining operations worldwide, including remote and underserved regions like parts of Africa. By generating custom block templates onsite and handling thousands of rig connections with low latency, DATUM keeps Tether globally competitive while boosting geographic diversity.
Tether Doubles Down on Decentralized Mining and Crypto Education
“Tether’s decision to mine on OCEAN reflects months of deep technical evaluation,” said Giv Zanganeh, VP of Mining & Energy at Tether. “We believe the DATUM protocol is the software stack most aligned with Bitcoin’s decentralization ethos.”
OCEAN welcomed the partnership with open arms. “Tether’s involvement is a strong signal that decentralization remains a core priority for Bitcoin’s future,” said Luke Dashjr, OCEAN’s Chairman and CTO. “Their participation underscores the value of open, censorship-resistant mining protocols.” This move also builds on Tether’s expanding footprint in Africa. The company recently teamed up with Quidax to launch a crypto education campaign in Nigeria and other countries. The goal? To give people the tools they need to tap into the digital economy.
