Jakarta, Pintu News – By the end of 2025, Tether, the issuer of Tether , had again increased the amount of Bitcoin in their coffers with massive purchases. According to data from EmberCN, Tether added around 9,850 BTC, valued at around $876 million, through two large transactions in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Big Expansion in the Last Quarter

Tether made a transfer of 961 BTC on November 7 and then on January 1, 2026, they made a much larger transfer of 8,888.8 BTC. This transfer alone was worth around $778 million at the time of withdrawal. This shows Tether’s commitment to continuously increase their Bitcoin (BTC) reserves, in accordance with the policy announced in May 2023 to buy Bitcoin (BTC) by 15% every quarter based on their profits.

After the latest addition, Tether’s main Bitcoin (BTC) cash address now holds 96,185 BTC worth $8.4 billion. This puts them among the five largest known Bitcoin (BTC) wallets in the world. At withdrawal prices, the company’s average acquisition cost is around $51,100 per Bitcoin (BTC), meaning they have an unrealized gain of over $3.5 billion based on current market prices.

Company activeness despite market downturn

Despite falling prices in the market, the company’s cash continues to show an accumulation trend. This week, Strategy made another purchase of Bitcoin (BTC). They purchased 1,229 BTC at an average cost of $88,568 per unit, which amounted to $108.8 million. In addition, Metaplanet ended a several-month pause in Bitcoin (BTC) purchases with a purchase of 4,279 BTC in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The company’s Bitcoin (BTC) stock is growing in value, with total deposits now at over 35,102 BTC, worth over $3 billion. At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is still ranging from $88,000 to $90,000, showing a certain stability despite market fluctuations.

Broader Capital Allocation Strategy

This increase in Bitcoin (BTC) cash is part of a broader capital allocation strategy that goes beyond digital currencies. Last year, Tether announced plans to reinvest profits generated from cryptocurrencies into its gold supply chain business, which includes mining, refining, and trading, among others.

The company has held billions of dollars in physical gold reserves in Switzerland. Financial disclosures show that Bitcoin (BTC) and gold reserves made a substantial contribution to Tether’s revenue during the first half of the previous year.

Conclusion

By continuing to add to their Bitcoin (BTC) reserves, Tether is not only strengthening its financial position but also demonstrating confidence in the long-term value of Bitcoin (BTC) as an asset. It also signals a growing trend where large corporations continue to see Bitcoin (BTC) as an important part of their diversification and investment strategies.
