La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9sentait alors le pays comme un lieu id\u00e9al en raison de son approvisionnement en \u00e9nergies renouvelables, de la fiabilit\u00e9 de son r\u00e9seau, de sa stabilit\u00e9 politique et de son r\u00e9gime fiscal favorable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L&rsquo;entit\u00e9 locale, Microfin, exploitait les deux installations et g\u00e9n\u00e9rait initialement des revenus sans incident. Le conflit a cristallis\u00e9 sur l&rsquo;interpr\u00e9tation des chiffres : Tether et un ancien sous-traitant consid\u00e9raient le volume d&rsquo;\u00e9lectricit\u00e9 contract\u00e9 comme un seuil minimal pouvant \u00eatre augment\u00e9 \u00e0 mesure de l&rsquo;expansion des sites.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c0 l&rsquo;inverse, selon un ancien prestataire de Tether et une source interne \u00e0 UTE, l&rsquo;\u00e9lectricien public traitait ce m\u00eame chiffre comme une allocation maximale ne pouvant \u00eatre d\u00e9pass\u00e9e sans un nouvel accord.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Des documents internes d&rsquo;UTE datant de 2025, examin\u00e9s par Reuters, montrent que le d\u00e9saccord remontait au moins \u00e0 novembre 2024. \u00c0 mesure que la demande augmentait, les sites auraient pass\u00e9 plusieurs jours sans une puissance \u00e9lectrique suffisante.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"474\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udc0b WHALE WATCH : Tether dropped $120 MILLION to build a Bitcoin mining hub in Uruguay.<br> <br>only for the local state utility to literally pull the plug. <br><br>Contract disputes + unpaid power bills = dark facilities and halted expansion plans across South America. <br><br>You can print\u2026 <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XOeg83KQyp\">pic.twitter.com\/XOeg83KQyp<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Whale Factor (@WhaleFactor) <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WhaleFactor\/status\/2091751160805827058?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 24, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contexte : Un virage politique durcit la position d&rsquo;UTE face au minage de Bitcoin<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le diff\u00e9rend s&rsquo;est intensifi\u00e9 apr\u00e8s l&rsquo;arriv\u00e9e au pouvoir du gouvernement de gauche en Uruguay en mars 2025. La nouvelle direction d&rsquo;UTE alors install\u00e9e a adopt\u00e9 une position beaucoup plus ferme concernant les demandes de ren\u00e9gociation de Tether.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deux mois plus tard, en mai 2025, Microfin a cess\u00e9 de payer ses factures d&rsquo;\u00e9lectricit\u00e9. En juin, l&rsquo;entreprise informait UTE de son intention de r\u00e9silier le contrat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bien que le conseil d&rsquo;administration d&rsquo;UTE ait approuv\u00e9 un protocole d&rsquo;accord et un projet de nouveau contrat, les repr\u00e9sentants de Tether ne se sont pas pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s pour la signature. Face \u00e0 ce protocole non sign\u00e9 et aux factures impay\u00e9es, UTE a coup\u00e9 le courant sur les sites le 25 juillet 2025.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En novembre 2025, Tether a inform\u00e9 les autorit\u00e9s du travail uruguayennes de l&rsquo;arr\u00eat de ses op\u00e9rations et du licenciement de la majeure partie du personnel. Microfin a finalement r\u00e9gl\u00e9 sa dette impay\u00e9e aupr\u00e8s d&rsquo;UTE en d\u00e9cembre 2025.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implication industrielle : L&rsquo;\u00e9nergie bon march\u00e9 n&rsquo;est pas une \u00e9nergie garantie<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paolo Ardoino, PDG de Tether, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 a investi plus de 2 milliards de dollars dans la production d&rsquo;\u00e9nergie et le minage de Bitcoin. L&rsquo;Uruguay \u00e9tait initialement per\u00e7u comme une premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape vers des march\u00e9s sud-am\u00e9ricains plus vastes, incluant le Br\u00e9sil, le Paraguay et l&rsquo;Argentine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tanay Ved, analyste senior chez Talos, a soulign\u00e9 que les mineurs s&rsquo;appuient d\u00e9sormais sur du mat\u00e9riel plus efficace, des sources d&rsquo;\u00e9nergie moins ch\u00e8res et une diversification vers l&rsquo;intelligence artificielle (IA) et le calcul haute performance pour pr\u00e9server leurs marges, apr\u00e8s que le halving d&rsquo;avril 2024 a r\u00e9duit les r\u00e9compenses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nicolas Ribeiro, sp\u00e9cialiste du minage crypto, a argu\u00e9 que le r\u00e9seau fiable et la forte connectivit\u00e9 de l&rsquo;Uruguay conviennent mieux aux centres de donn\u00e9es d&rsquo;IA qu&rsquo;au minage de Bitcoin, la rentabilit\u00e9 de ce dernier
