Tether has also invested in Bitcoin through its involvement with Twenty One Capital, led by Strike CEO Jack Mallers, and has transferred over 15,000 BTC to support its reserve strategy.

Tether's market capitalization stands at $115.2 billion, with a balance sheet comprising $127 billion in US Treasuries and $5.47 billion in reserves, and its profit in 2024 was approximately $13 billion.

Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, has added approximately $1 billion worth of Bitcoin, about 8,889 BTC, to its reserves on September 30, increasing its holdings to roughly $9.75 billion and making it the sixth-largest Bitcoin wallet globally.

This move reflects Tether's strategic shift toward assets like Bitcoin and gold, signaling an ambition to expand beyond traditional stablecoin markets amid a favorable U.S. regulatory environment.

In addition to its crypto investments, Tether owns a 70% stake in Adecoagro, a Latin American agribusiness managing extensive farmland across Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, indicating diversification into sustainable infrastructure.

Tether dismissed rumors of selling Bitcoin for gold, reaffirming its ongoing strategy of accumulating Bitcoin alongside gold holdings.

The recent Bitcoin transfer was from Bitfinex hot wallets to Tether’s reserve address, highlighting active management of reserves and consistent on-chain activity.

Tether views Bitcoin as a long-term reserve hedge against inflation and sovereign debt risks, positioning itself as more than just a stablecoin issuer.

The company announced the upcoming launch of USAT, a fully compliant U.S.-specific stablecoin, aiming to expand its offerings within the U.S. market by the end of the year, led by former White House crypto advisor Bo Hines.

Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed the company holds over 100,000 BTC and more than 50 tons of gold, with recent disclosures emphasizing its substantial holdings in cryptocurrencies and precious metals.

USDT has seen continuous growth, with over $9.2 billion minted in Q2 2025 and a total supply nearing $175 billion, maintaining its dominant 59% market share in stablecoins amid over $56.5 billion in inflows during Q3.

The latest Bitcoin addition was sourced from a wallet associated with Bitfinex, with reserves regularly increased at the end of quarters following historical patterns.

The recent Bitcoin transfer occurred from a Bitfinex hot wallet on September 30, 2025, at 11:06 a.m. UTC, with an average purchase price of around $48,542 per BTC, resulting in an unrealized profit of approximately $5.5 billion.
