Tether’s Bitcoin Reserves Grow by $1 Billion as USDT Supply Hits $175B

Tether’s Bitcoin reserves rise by $1 billion, reaching $9.79 billion, based on recent transfer data from Bitfinex.

Tether follows a regular strategy of topping up Bitcoin reserves at the end of each quarter, strengthening its financial position.

USDT’s circulation continues to expand, growing by 10.7% to $174.6 billion, underlining rising demand for stablecoins in crypto markets.

Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin USDT, has made a significant move by adding $1 billion worth of Bitcoin to its reserves. The transaction, confirmed by Arkham Intelligence, involved 8,889 BTC transferred from Bitfinex, a crypto exchange closely tied to the company. This addition boosts Tether's total Bitcoin holdings to an impressive $9.79 billion at current market value.

This Bitcoin acquisition is part of a larger, recurring strategy. Tether has been observed consistently purchasing Bitcoin at the end of each quarter, with similar transfers recorded in September 2024, December 2024, and March 2025. Analysts suggest that these regular Bitcoin buys are part of Tether’s broader plan to strengthen its balance sheet ahead of quarterly attestations.

Tether's Growing Bitcoin Investments

Accumulation is not the only policy of Bitcoin by Tether. In June, the company sold Bitcoin for 1.4 billion dollars to Twenty One Capital, which is a Bitcoin treasury. This activity also gave rise to speculation concerning the intentions of Tether to diversify its reserves, with some showing that it may turn to gold. However, the Tether CEO, Paolo Ardoino, was swift to react to these rumors by pointing out that Bitcoin will remain a central component in the long-term reserve strategy of the company.

Tether Holdings is mentioned in Quarterly Reports.

The transparency of Tether has been challenged, and many have criticized the reserve management procedures at Tether. But quarterly attestations of the company, providing an accurate vision of what the company holds, are regarded as a step towards reassuring the market. Tether currently has 8.9 billion Bitcoin on reserve, and its next quarterly report at the end of October will probably show the latest buy.

Tether, a stablecoin, the USDT, has seen an increase in circulation, along with its Bitcoin investments. CoinGecko reported that the USDT supply has increased by 10.7% in the past three months, and now stands at about $174.6 billion. This is an indicator of the increased need for dollar-pegged assets within the volatile crypto market, which further emphasizes the USDT as the most popular stablecoin in the world.

Tether's U.S. Market Strategy

Tether is also making moves to strengthen its position in the U.S. market. The company has launched a domestic branch under the leadership of Bo Hines, a former White House advisor on crypto policy. Additionally, Tether is developing a federally compliant stablecoin, USAT, signaling a clear shift towards mainstream adoption within the U.S. financial system.
