Tether holds about 150,000 BTC, valued at $11.5 billion, CEO Paolo Ardoino revealed. That would put the privately held company behind only Strategy on BitcoinTreasuries’ list of public companies, which shows Strategy holding 849,327 BTC.
Why it matters
Tether is not included in the public-company ranking because it is privately held. Its Bitcoin holdings nonetheless put it in the same conversation as the largest corporate treasury holders, extending Bitcoin accumulation beyond listed companies.
Market impact
The figures establish the scale of Tether’s reported position, but the seed provides no information about when or how the company acquired the BTC. The comparison to Strategy is a measure of holdings, not a sign of a change in either company’s strategy.
