Tether shifts $780M in Bitcoin to reserve — its biggest move in 9 months
Stablecoin issuer Tether has moved over 8,400 Bitcoin to its reserve in its biggest move since March.
Stablecoin issuer Tether moved nearly $780 million worth of Bitcoin into its corporate Bitcoin reserve in its largest move since March.
Arkham Intelligence shows wallets tagged for Tether’s Bitcoin reserve as having received separate transfers of around 7628.9 BTC and 775.6 BTC on Dec. 30, totaling just under 8404.5 BTC.
The latest BTC additions are worth a total of $777.4 million, with Bitcoin hovering around $92,500. It brings Tether’s total holdings to 83,759 BTC, worth just under $7.75 billion.
Tether, which issues the stablecoin of the same name, Tether, first said in May 2023 that it planned to “regularly allocate up to 15% of its net realized operating profits towards purchasing Bitcoin.”
It’s the company’s first significant move since March 31, when the firm added around 8888.88 BTC just weeks after the cryptocurrency broke past $70,000 for the first time and soared past a long-held all-time high.
Bitcoin has gone on to double in price over 2024 and is currently up over 108% on the year, though it has been trading down this week, and is down from its mid-December all-time high of around $108,000.
