Tether Adds 8,888 Bitcoin in Q1 as Holdings Top $8.4B

Tether, issuer of the USDT stablecoin, has acquired 8,888 Bitcoin in Q1 of 2025, taking its overall holdings to 100,521 BTC worth about $8.46 billion at prevailing market prices.

Based on on-chain data of transactions, the $750 million worth of Bitcoin was sent from a Bitfinex address to Tether's wallet. The company's reserves continue to increase, even after concerns were raised in mid-February about possible regulations that would force Tether to sell some of its Bitcoin reserves in order to meet U.S. regulations.

JP Morgan recently issued a report warning that suggested stablecoin regulations could make much of Tether's reserves non-compliant, such as assets like Bitcoin. Tether came back, stressing that U.S. stablecoin legislation is in the process of being finalized and that they are aware of the nature of Bitcoin and Tether's enterprise.

Tether's diversification into other investments is also remarkable. The company made a $13 billion profit in 2024 and became the seventh-largest U.S. Treasurys buyer globally. They have diversified their investments across different sectors such as media, sport, and agriculture, with some recent investments being in Juventus FC and Be Water, an Italian media corporation.

Tether's USDT stablecoin remains atop the market with a combined supply of close to 148 billion tokens. Its increasing supply and shrewd investments are likely to lend strength to growth in the cryptocurrency sector, with certain experts forecasting that global stablecoin supply will reach $1 trillion by the close of 2025.
