Tether taps Canaan and ACME Swisstech for modular Bitcoin mining infrastructure
Bitcoin Tether taps Canaan and ACME Swisstech for modular Bitcoin mining infrastructure Tether is expanding its Bitcoin mining infrastructure with modular, high density compute systems designed to make large scale operations more efficient, customizable, and easier to upgrade. The digital asset company is working with Canaan and ACME Swisstech to build systems around application specific hash board modules, rather than relying on fully assembled mining rigs. The design integrates those modules into Tethers own control architecture, thermal management systems, and software stack. The system separates compute from power and enclosure, allowing each layer of the mining setup to be optimized independently. Tether said the approach can reduce energy overhead, improve availability, and give operators more direct control over performance under real operating conditions. Most large scale mining operations still rely on thousands of individual machines with limited coordination across a site. Tethers modular approach aims to replace that fixed model with systems that can be tuned, cooled, and upgraded at the component level. The design is optimized for immersion cooling, though Tether said other cooling systems are also being developed. Operators can adjust output as needed and replace or upgrade individual components without replacing entire mining units. “Most mining infrastructure is still built as sealed, fixed units,
