Tether, the company behind the widely-used cryptocurrency USDT, has made a significant investment of $100 million in Bitdeer, a leading public crypto mining firm. This strategic move, reported by Bloomberg, was executed through a private placement of 18.6 million Class A ordinary shares, according to Bitdeer's announcement. Additionally, the deal includes a warrant for Tether to purchase up to five million more shares at $10 per share.

The funds from this investment are earmarked for expanding Bitdeer's data center operations, developing advanced ASIC-based crypto mining equipment, and other general corporate needs. Despite the sizable investment, neither company has disclosed the exact ownership percentage Tether now holds in Bitdeer.

### Tether's Ambitious Bitcoin Mining Plans

This investment aligns with Tether's broader strategy to become a significant player in the Bitcoin mining sector. Tether, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, began constructing its mining facilities in Uruguay, Paraguay, and El Salvador last year. The company previously announced plans to invest half a billion dollars within six months to advance its mining operations.

### Bitdeer's Market Position and Future Prospects

Bitdeer, headquartered in Singapore, is one of the largest publicly traded crypto miners in the US, boasting a market capitalization of approximately $670 million. The company operates data centers in the US, Norway, and Bhutan. Following the announcement of Tether's investment, Bitdeer's stock, which had declined over 40% this year, saw a 6.5% increase, rising to $6.20 per share.

### The Challenges and Rewards of Bitcoin Mining

Bitcoin mining, which involves running power-intensive computers to secure the blockchain and earn new tokens, recently became less profitable. In April, the Bitcoin network underwent a 'halving,' a scheduled event that halves the rewards for mining, making it about 50% less lucrative. Despite this, Bitcoin's price reached an all-time high of $68,800 in March, fueled by optimism over new spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds launched in the US.
