Tether significantly increased its Bitcoin holdings in the fourth quarter of 2025, once again attracting attention in the cryptocurrency market.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino announced on social media that the company purchased over 8,888 Bitcoins in the last quarter of 2025. The purchase is seen as part of Tether's long-term digital asset strategy.
Tether, with its stablecoin USDT, is one of the biggest players in the global cryptocurrency ecosystem. The company's increase in Bitcoin purchases has been interpreted as both a balance sheet diversification strategy and a strong signal of continued institutional investor confidence in Bitcoin. In recent years, many large companies have chosen to add Bitcoin to their reserves as a hedge against inflation and as a long-term store of value.
Paolo Ardoino's statement comes at a time of volatility in Bitcoin prices. Throughout 2025, global macroeconomic developments, interest rate policies, and geopolitical risks led to increased volatility in the cryptocurrency market. Nevertheless, Tether's large Bitcoin purchases demonstrate the company's confidence in the market's long-term potential.
Experts say Tether's Bitcoin purchases could reduce supply pressure on the market and maintain institutional investor interest. They also point out that this move reveals that stablecoin issuers are increasingly focusing on digital assets as well as fiat assets.
This statement from Tether indicates that the company's crypto asset management strategy and approach to Bitcoin will continue to be closely monitored.
