Tether isn’t slowing down on Bitcoin. In the last quarter of 2025, the stablecoin giant bought another 8,888 BTC, pushing its total holdings to over 96,000 coins. That’s the third straight quarter Tether has bought exactly 8,888 Bitcoin.
The company started this strategy back in 2023. The plan? To put up to 15% of its profits into Bitcoin. Tether says it’s all about diversifying reserves and having a hedge against inflation. Bitcoin isn’t the main part of their reserves—U.S. Treasuries still make up the bulk—but it’s now a key part of their balance sheet.
This recent buy makes Tether the fifth-largest single Bitcoin wallet in the world, according to blockchain data.
Tether has been profitable in 2025, which has made these Bitcoin purchases possible. While U.S. Treasuries still back most of its USDT stablecoins, Bitcoin is now a strategic reserve asset—a way for Tether to strengthen its financial foundation.
Even though Bitcoin only makes up a smaller slice of Tether’s reserves, the company sees it as a core hedge and long-term treasury asset. The strategy has already paid off with unrealized gains on its Bitcoin holdings, though the company hasn’t shared exact numbers.
Tether’s moves show it’s serious about mixing traditional finance with digital assets, positioning Bitcoin as a cornerstone of what it calls a resilient financial ecosystem.
