Tether's Bitcoin Reserves Reach 92,646 BTC After Purchasing 735 Million BTC

The volatility of the crypto market often proves disappointing to short term traders who panic at the fall. But for holders, those who hold cryptocurrency long term, it's a different game. They remain calm, patient, and follow the whales diving into the ocean of Bitcoin. Among them, Tether, the giant of stablecoins, proudly introduces a recent acquisition that is making waves. Tether Attacks Bitcoin: A Strategic Acquisition Tether News: The first quarter of 2025 marks a turning point for the company. With the acquisition of 8,888 BTC for $735 million, the company saw its bitcoin reserves increase to $7.8 billion. This achievement makes Tether one of the largest bitcoin holders in the world, ranking 6th in terms of volume held in a single wallet. This acquisition is not a coincidence but a strategic accumulation announced in September 2022, aimed at strengthening reserves while diversifying investments. The focus of this strategy is Tether's commitment to allocate 15% of net profits each quarter to acquire Bitcoin. What is the goal? To create long-term stability while maximizing potential profits. Despite a challenging first quarter for Bitcoin as its value has fallen nearly 12%, Tether remains one of the highest yielding coins in the crypto market. The unrealized profit of $3.86 billion demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach. The question is: will Tether continue this strong strategy in the coming quarters, even if the market remains volatile? Paolo Ardoino, A Bitcoin Passionate CEO The CEO of Tether, Paolo Ardoino, does not hide his love for Bitcoin. According to him, this cryptocurrency is not only the most decentralized but also has a unique resilience. No one can change Bitcoin. A statement protects it against the rise of altcoins and their governance debates. In a world where updates and changes are frequent, Bitcoin remains fixed in its original form, a guarantee of reliability.

Recently, he stated that bitcoin "remains unchanged and cannot be altered", an argument that makes sense in the context of many cryptocurrencies frequently changing to meet market demands. For Ardoino, the security and stability of Bitcoin make it a valuable asset for long term investors. Can we really imagine a global financial future without Bitcoin? And what if the stability of blockchain is its main asset in the coming years? Tether and the strategic importance of stablecoins for the dollar Tether is not just a stablecoin company. It is a geopolitical factor in the crypto market. According to Paolo Ardoino, the USDT stablecoin has a strategic role: it is good for the US dollar. How? By helping to maintain the dominance of the dollar in emerging regions, such as Africa and South America, where China is trying to establish its influence. Ardoino explained that USDT helps decentralize dollar holdings, particularly in emerging markets where the dollar remains an essential factor despite the appreciation of the Chinese yuan. Therefore, Tether acts as a bulwark against the process of de-dollarization, a global challenge that is becoming increasingly relevant to alternative currency projects such as the BRICS countries. If these projects fail in the short term, the rise of Tether could really help maintain the balance. Here are some key points about the impact of Tether on the dollar: USDT acts as a counterweight to China's influence in emerging markets; Tether holds a massive reserve of US Treasury bonds, surpassing many other countries; Tether has a stable market share, with a circulating volume of 147 billion dollars; The company is developing projects in Africa, including solar-powered kiosks funded by stablecoins. Tether: a key factor in maintaining the dominance of the dollar, but for how long? Tether is not only satisfied with Bitcoin; it is also becoming a key player in the U.S. economy as the 7th largest holder of U.S. Treasury bonds. Tether is gradually but surely transforming into an indispensable geopolitical force in the crypto market and beyond.
