Tether Scoops Up Nearly 10,000 BTC in Q4 2025

Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s leading digital asset, has continued to strengthen its position as the most influential asset despite ongoing turbulence in the crypto market.  Recent developments show why big players in the industry believe the coin could remain relevant in the years to come.

Tether, one of the largest stablecoin issuing companies, has significantly increased its BTC reserves. The firm’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, recently revealed that the entity accumulated roughly 8,888.8888888 BTC in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Tether Acquires Nearly $900M Worth of BTC

Furthermore, EmberCN, known for its blockchain insight, disclosed that Tether purchased approximately 9,850 BTC, valued at almost $900 million, during the quarter. According to the blockchain platform, these massive purchases included a withdrawal of 961 BTC from Bitfinex, a prominent crypto exchange.

The transaction, which occurred on November 7, 2025, was followed by another large transfer of 8,888.8 BTC, worth $778 million, to the company’s Bitcoin reserve address on the first day of 2026. With these latest additions, Tether currently holds 96,185 BTC (approximately $8.42 billion) in its BTC reserve address. It ranks as the fifth-largest BTC wallet.

The large and aggressive BTC accumulation signals a strong belief in the asset’s potential. Prominent investors and large institutions view the digital asset as a hedge against inflation.  As the largest stablecoin issuer, stacking BTC highlights Tether’s interest in diversity. 

Despite the asset’s underperformance, Tether is not slowing down in its buying spree. The firm has joined the bandwagon of companies like Strategy, Metaplanet, and other big players in the industry in its recent BTC accumulation. 

At the time of reporting, according to data from CoinGecko, BTC trades at slightly over $87,700, representing a 1.1% decline in the last 24 hours and a 1.5% increase over the month.  

Tether Expands Beyond Crypto Holdings

Meanwhile, aside from the firm’s latest BTC business, the company has positioned itself to conquer other sectors. As one of the most successful companies, Tether recently made a bold move. The stablecoin issuer announced plans to acquire the football giant Juventus.

Tether disclosed that if the deal goes through and receives all necessary regulatory approvals, it will buy Exor’s entire 65.4% stake in the Italian professional football club. As part of the proposal, the company planned to invest approximately €1 billion (over $1.174 billion) in the club to help and support its long-term development.
