Tether doubled down on Bitcoin in Q4 2025, buying another 8,888 BTC and pushing its holdings past the 96,000-coin mark, the company said in its quarterly disclosure. The purchase continues a steady accumulation policy: it’s the third straight quarter in 2025 that Tether Operations Limited added exactly 8,888 BTC.
That stash now places Tether among the largest holders on-chain — the firm’s address ranks as the fifth-largest single Bitcoin wallet globally, based on blockchain data. Tether first put the policy in place in September 2022, committing to deploy up to 15% of net realized operating profits into Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset and inflation hedge.
Tether’s financials show the firm reported profits in the first nine months of 2025 that enabled continued BTC purchases. As of Sept. 30, 2025, the company says USDT in circulation remains primarily backed by U.S. Treasury holdings, with Bitcoin representing a minority portion of overall reserves.
Tether frames Bitcoin as a core component of its reserve mix — a strategic capital allocation alongside traditional instruments intended to bolster what the company calls a resilient financial ecosystem. The accumulation has put Tether among the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders and has produced unrealized gains at current prices, though the quarterly report did not disclose specific valuation figures.
