Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, now holds about 150,000 Bitcoin valued at over $11.5 billion, a significant increase from earlier in 2026 when it held around 100,000 BTC. This rise follows a policy since May 2023 to invest up to 15% of quarterly net profits into Bitcoin, with notable purchases including 8,888 BTC at the end of 2025. Despite Bitcoin's volatility, Tether's Bitcoin buys come from profits, not reserves backing USDT, protecting the stablecoin's peg. Additionally, Tether holds $132.4 billion in US Treasury securities and maintains $7.95 billion in excess reserves, providing a strong financial cushion as its user base grows to over 730 million globally.
Tether's USDT stablecoin is trading at Rp18.135 on Pluang as of Nov 03, 2026 08:23 WIB, showing a slight 0.07% increase in the past day.
