Following the announcement that Tether made earlier about their plan to invest around 15% of their profits into Bitcoin, the stablecoin issuer company has taken another step to reach its crypto goals. The stablecoin issuer Tether has revealed its latest venture, which is “sustainable bitcoin mining operations in Uruguay.”
The company, Tether Limited, has partnered with a licensed local company in Uruguay to make this partnership happen since it believes that Uruguay is the ideal location for bitcoin mining production.
