Tether has purchased another 8,888 BTC, increasing its total on-chain holdings to 86,335 BTC. At current prices, that’s worth over $9.7 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. The company, however, claims its real stash is much larger. Tether reports holding over 100,000 BTC along with 50 tons of gold. It has also committed 15,000 BTC into Bitcoin XXI, a treasury management firm focused on Bitcoin strategies. This steady accumulation shows how Tether is doubling down on Bitcoin as a reserve asset. While most stablecoin issuers remain tied to U.S. Treasuries, Tether is openly diversifying into scarce digital and physical stores of value.
