He said: “Where? In LATAM. We tend to not share exact locations to avoid personnel harassment, a valid concern given the amount of detractors obsessed with Tether.” 
He added that the mining of Bitcoin will start in the coming weeks: “The site is progressing well, everyone in the team is super excited and working around the clock to start operations in the next few weeks.”

TheCoinRise reported in the first week of August that Ardoino had announced that Tether was planning to <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/tether-set-to-release-new-software-to-improve-bitcoin-mining/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">release new Bitcoin (BTC) mining software</a> that would help with better capacity management. Ardoino also discussed his involvement with Moria, a mining farm orchestration tool. He confirmed that Holepunch technology is used in the construction of the most recent innovations. 
Tether disclosed purchasing a <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/tether-set-to-beat-microstrategy-purchases-52670-bitcoin-in-q1/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">total of 52,670 BTC in its Q1</a> 2023 filings in an effort to overtake MicroStrategy, one of the well-known institutional buyers of Bitcoin.
