Aime Summary
Tether has increased its
reserves by $1 billion, adding 8,889 to its holdings, according to blockchain data from Intelligence[1]. The move brings Tether's total Bitcoin reserves to $9.7 billion, with the stablecoin giant's flagship token supply nearing $175 billion as of September 2025, marking a 10.7% increase over the last quarter[1]. The firm has also expanded its Bitcoin holdings through quarterly purchases, including a $735 million acquisition in Q1 2025, which raised its total reserves to 92,647 BTC valued at $7.64 billion[2]. Tether's strategy, announced in May 2023, involves allocating 15% of its quarterly profits to Bitcoin purchases, a policy that has driven consistent accumulation despite a 12% decline in Bitcoin's price during Q1 2025[2].The firm's Bitcoin reserves have generated $3.86 billion in unrealized profits, reflecting its long-term investment approach[2]. Recent transactions, including a $1 billion BTC addition in September 2025, align with Tether's pattern of accumulating Bitcoin at the end of quarters[1]. This strategy has positioned
as the sixth-largest Bitcoin holder globally, with its holdings now representing a significant portion of the cryptocurrency's market. The company also seeded over $1.4 billion in Bitcoin to Twenty One Capital (XXI), a Bitcoin treasury firm led by Strike CEO Jack Mallers, in June 2025[1].Tether's USDT supply has surged to $174.6 billion, solidifying its dominance in the stablecoin sector despite regulatory scrutiny and competition from rivals like Circle's
and Ripple's RLUSD[1]. The firm has expanded into the U.S. market with a new stablecoin, USAT, launched under federal regulatory guidelines. This move follows Tether's establishment of a U.S. branch led by former White House crypto advisor Bo Hines[1]. The company's broader strategy includes diversifying into Bitcoin mining, energy production, and AI, alongside its stablecoin operations[2].Rumors of Tether selling Bitcoin for gold in Q2 2025 were debunked by the firm's balance sheet, which revealed a net increase of over 10,000 BTC when accounting for transfers to XXI. The firm's June and July 2025 transfers of 14,000 BTC and 5,800 BTC to XXI, respectively, demonstrated its commitment to holding both Bitcoin and gold[4]. Tether's Q2 attestation confirmed $162.5 billion in assets, $5.47 billion in excess reserves, and $4.9 billion in quarterly profits[4]. The company's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, emphasized that no Bitcoin was sold, reinforcing transparency amid market speculation[4].
Financially, Tether reported $8.9 billion in Bitcoin reserves as of June 30, 2025, with its next attestation expected in late October[1]. The firm's 2024 performance included a $13 billion net profit, driven by U.S. Treasury holdings and gains from Bitcoin and gold[2]. Tether's balance sheet strength has bolstered confidence in USDT's stability, with the stablecoin's market cap reaching $120 billion in 2024[2]. Analysts note that Tether's Bitcoin accumulation and reserve growth signal resilience in a volatile market, countering concerns over its liquidity and regulatory compliance[4].
The firm's strategic investments and financial performance highlight its role as a cornerstone of the crypto ecosystem. By maintaining a diversified reserve portfolio and expanding into U.S. markets, Tether aims to address transparency concerns while reinforcing its leadership in stablecoin issuance[1].
