Tether’s latest transaction drives its Bitcoin holdings to $ 92,647, valued at $ 7.7 billion at current market prices. With this latest upswing to its crypto holdings, Tether remains one of the largest Bitcoin Holders in the industry.
Tether is slowly building its bitcoin reserve
In recent weeks Bitcoin was among the most important agenda of US President Donald Trump for one Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). But last Monday, Tether felt his presence by adding more bitcoins to his already huge crypto reserve.
Tether’s Crypto Reserve is one of the largest in the industry because it is used to back up its StableCoin, USDT. At present, Tether controls over 5 60% of the total Stablecoins market, with a market value of $ 144 billion, compared with a total of $ 234 billion for the entire StableCoin industry.
Tether’s latest transaction puts it in the Big League, making it the sixth largest Bitcoin holder. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, Tether is the second largest private holder of the asset, under Block.one. But if we zoom out and consider other units and publicly traded companies, Strategy (Former Micro Strategy), and the highest place Bitcoin ETFS issuers beat Tether’s Holdings.
Commitment to invest in bitcoin
Tether’s latest Bitcoin acquisition reflects the company’s commitment to Bitcoin. Interestingly, the company promised to use part of its net profit to buy additional bitcoins. The company committed in May 2023 and stated that it will use 14% of its net profit to buy additional bitcoins.
Tether’s latest Bitcoin purchase was 8,404, which was made in December last year, which drove its holding to 83,759.
$ 1B USDT in reserves
Tether’s latest Bitcoin purchase coincided with minting of fresh tokens. According to data on the chain, the Stablecoin company coined $ 1 billion in tokens on the faith. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has confirmed minting of a new USDT.
According to Ardoino, the mouth of the new USDT was authorized, but he insisted that this party is not yet included in the circulation. They added that the recently coined USDT is now part of their inventory and will be used for future publishing requests. Tether has already coined $ 8 billion on faith since the beginning of the year and registered $ 22 billion of USDT coined last year.
