🔥BIG: Tether holds about 150,000 BTC worth $11.5 BILLION, CEO Paolo Ardoino reveals. That tops every public company on BitcoinTreasuries’ list except Strategy, which holds 849,327 BTC, about 5.7 times as much. Privately held Tether sits outside the ranking. The figure is roughly 50,000 BTC above its reported USDT reserve holdings. Separate proprietary investments could explain the gap, but Ardoino did not clarify or confirm a new purchase, per CoinDesk. Tether allocates up to 15% of net realized operating profits to Bitcoin purchases.
