Tether Expands Bitcoin Holdings Amidst Market Volatility

Tether, a major player in the cryptocurrency market, continues to solidify its position as a significant Bitcoin holder. In Q1 2025, Tether acquired an additional 8,888 BTC, boosting its holdings to 100,521 BTC, valued at roughly $8.29 billion. This strategic investment, initiated in May 2023 with a focus on using profits from other activities to purchase Bitcoin, is now driving Tether’s position as the sixth-largest Bitcoin holder. Despite a recent dip in Bitcoin’s price, Tether maintains its aggressive growth strategy. The company recently minted $1 billion in USDT on the Tron network, bringing its total supply on the platform to over $8 billion. 70% of Adecoagro’s stake and plans to acquire 30% of Italy’s Be Water media company reflect a diversification move beyond cryptocurrency. Tether also expanded into the stablecoin market with a market capitalization exceeding $144 billion, holding a commanding 61% share. Its significant influence in the US Treasury securities market, purchasing an impressive $33.1 billion in 2024 and becoming the seventh-largest buyer of U.S. Treasuries, further underlines its financial strength.
