#Tether $BTC ๐ Tether revealed its 150,000 BTC treasury, but its balance sheet report confirms only 100,060. So where is the ~50,000 BTC gap?
๐ Figures (November 3, 2026, Lugano Plan โฟ Forum):
โข CEO Paolo Ardoino: ~150,000 BTC (~$11.5 billion)
โข Q3 BDO attestation: $8.37 billion / $83,621 = ~100,060 BTC
โข Difference: ~49,940 BTC (~$3.8 billion) outside the audit report
โข Excess reserves: $7.95 billion | T-bills: $132.4 billion
Source: CoinDesk, Bitcoin Magazine, crypto.news
๐ BTC 4h chart (Binance, November 4): $76,327, 24h -0.8%. Price is below the SMA20 ($77,575), RSI is 35.6, MACD is negative. If $75,736 breaks, $73,100 (the 200-day average) comes into play; a close above $77,575 is the first condition for a recovery.
๐ Why this is a different story: Everyone says, โTether is buying, supply is getting locked up.โ But no wallet or purchase date has been disclosed for the 50,000 BTC portion. If itโs held by Tether Investments, it wonโt appear in USDTโs reserve report. So the whale is real, but transparency is only partial.
๐ฏ Plan: Looking for direction around $76,300.
โข Short: Daily close below $75,700 โ target $73,100, stop $76,900
โข Long: 4h close above $77,575 โ target $78,063 / $80,000, stop $76,400
In the short term, the downside looks more convincing; in the medium term, Tetherโs supply is supportive.
๐ Which do you think matters more: the 150K whale or the 50K audit gap?
