🚨 BIG: TETHER IS QUIETLY BECOMING A BITCOIN GIANT.
🇸🇻 Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino reveals the company holds approximately 150,000 BTC worth $11.5 BILLION.
That would make Tether the second-largest Bitcoin treasury holder among companies on BitcoinTreasuries' list, behind only Strategy.
Here's why this matters:
Tether's 150,000 BTC position is roughly 5.7 times smaller than Strategy's massive 849,327 BTC holdings.
But there's an interesting twist.
Tether is privately held, so it doesn't appear in the public-company rankings.
Even more intriguing, its reported Bitcoin holdings exceed the BTC backing USDT reserves by roughly 50,000 BTC.
Could the difference come from Tether's separate proprietary investments?
That's one possibility, but Ardoino hasn't confirmed a new purchase or explained the gap.
And here's the bigger picture:
Tether allocates up to 15% of its net realized operating profits toward Bitcoin purchases.
Think about that.
One of the world's largest stablecoin issuers is also building a massive Bitcoin position.
The question is no longer whether institutions want Bitcoin. It's how much Bitcoin they're accumulating.
