ETHER SAYS IT NOW HOLDS AROUND 150,000 One of the largest companies in crypto has quietly built one of the largest bitcoin networks in the world. Tether CEO Paul Ardoino claims that the company currently holds about 150,000 BTC at current prices, a bitcoin worth more than $11, a figure that puts Tether well ahead of most public corporate bitcoin holders. For comparison: • Metaplanet: - 44,000 BTC - Stribi: 43,124 BTC - Tether: 150,000 BTC - Strategy: 849,327 Tether officially started to spend part of its profits to Bitcoin in May 2023. Its policy allows the company to collect up to 15% of BTC's net operating profits. Toner has the money to do so. Its latest financial disclosures show: * $7.95B in additional reserve reserves - $1.5B Q3 operating profit - & #036;132.4B in direct and indirect US Treasury exposure - & #036;1.45B in important reserve assets: The 150,000 BTC number comes from Ardoino's own estimate. Tater hasn't published a full wallet-by-collar breakdown that matches that number. However, the size is amazing. The company behind the world's largest stable capital market is using some of the profits generated by dollar assets to build one of the world's largest bitcoin positions.
