What is mining?
It refers to the work of verifying and approving virtual currency transactions that adopt proof of work (PoW) as a consensus mechanism. If you succeed in mining, you can get a reward. Mining has also been criticized because it consumes a lot of electricity to verify transactions.

Renewable energy in Uruguay
In its announcement, Tether cited data that Uruguay is powered by 94% renewable energy. It is well known in Japan that the country is a renewable energy powerhouse. The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), an independent administrative agency, reported in June last year that the country was “suitable for wind and solar power generation.”
Tether said Uruguay has a large investment in energy infrastructure and a resilient power system. The company believes Uruguay is the best place for efficient and sustainable mining.
The company recorded a record net profit in the first quarter (January to March) of this year. Earlier this month, it also announced that it would use up to 15% of its net realized operating income to buy bitcoin on a regular basis.
