Tether Addresses Bitcoin Holdings Controversy, Invests in Infrastructure

Following speculation regarding Tether’s Bitcoin holdings, the stablecoin issuer clarified that it did not sell any Bitcoin despite a reported drop in its net position. According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, Tether continues allocating profits into investments in both Bitcoin and gold, with recent transfers contributing to an increase in Bitcoin holdings. Jan3 CEO Samson Mow explained this apparent reduction as a result of transferring 19,800 BTC to Twenty One Capital between June and July 2025 for support of the Bitcoin-native financial platform led by Strike CEO Jack Mallers.
