With this latest purchase, Tether’s total BTC holdings reached 92,646 BTC, worth approximately $7.8 billion at current market prices. This transaction, which is in line with the company’s strategy of accumulating Bitcoin every quarter and consolidating its reserves at the end of the period, was recorded on April 1. With this latest purchase, Tether has the sixth-largest BTC balance in a single wallet.
The owners of the largest BTC wallets were listed as Binance, Bitfinex, Robinhood, and the wallet where the hacked funds fell into the hands of US authorities after Bitfinex was hacked.
The company launched its Bitcoin acquisition strategy in September 2022. The company officially announced its commitment to allocate 15% of its net profit to BTC purchases every quarter in May 2023. Since then, Tether has steadily increased its BTC reserves as part of its long-term diversification plan.
