According to FinanceFeeds, Tether-supported large agricultural company Adecoagro plans to launch a Bitcoin mining operation powered by electricity generated from sugarcane processing in Brazil, with an initial capacity of 10 megawatts, approximately 1,280 mining machines, expected to start around July 1, 2026. Adecoagro's business encompasses sugar, ethanol, rice, dairy products, and renewable energy, and Tether previously acquired a majority stake in the company.

The mining project will utilize electricity generated from sugarcane residue (bagasse), and the company has over 230 megawatts of renewable energy generation capacity in South America. Brazil is one of the world's largest sugarcane producers, with a mature ethanol and bioenergy industry. If the pilot is successful, other agricultural and renewable energy producers may view mining as a flexible demand source for surplus electricity.
