Frankfurt Bitcoin Miner Secures Massive Tether Funding for Innovation
Northern Data AG, a major player in the field of Bitcoin mining headquartered in Frankfurt, has recently closed a substantial financial deal amounting to €575 million in debt financing.
The agreement was reached with Tether Group, known for its stablecoin, and is aimed at fueling investments in their associated entities, Taiga Cloud and Ardent Data Centres. Additionally, the funding will specifically focus on advancing liquid-cooling technology in the realm of Bitcoin mining through Peak Mining.
This development comes as Taiga Cloud seeks to broaden its services as a Generative AI Cloud Service Provider, while Ardent Data Centres is actively expanding its collection of data centers. In an intriguing move, Northern Data also has plans to lease high-value $10,000 chips to fledgling AI startups.
The financing arrangement between Northern Data and Tether Group is a result of their collaborative efforts in various domains, including artificial intelligence, peer-to-peer communications, and data storage solutions. Despite claims by Forbes suggesting Tether’s significant ownership stake in Northern Data, the stablecoin issuer has strongly denied these assertions.
Paolo Ardoino, the incoming CEO of Tether, commended Northern Data for its ambitious growth strategy. He emphasized Tether’s assurance in the Q3 2023 report, confirming the precision of their financial reserves, majorly comprising U.S. Treasury Bills, which total a substantial $72.6 billion in direct and indirect exposure.

The Q3 report further disclosed that Tether maintains 85.7% reserves in cash or equivalents, which may influence price movements, ensuring the liquidity and stability of Bitcoin.
Recent marginal gains have supported this assertion, underlining the significance of the debt financing deal conducted under standard market conditions with Northern Data, signifying Tether’s growing presence within the cryptocurrency sector.
