Tether continuously grew its Bitcoin investments by purchasing an additional 8,888 BTC throughout the first three months of 2025. The company achieved a new acquisition of 8,888 BTC which held a market value of $735 million. The price decline of Bitcoin exceeding 12% in Q1 2025 established this period as one of the weakest first quarters of performance since the previous seven years.
The current Bitcoin reserves at Tether after their recent buy equal 92,647 bitcoins. The market evaluation of these holdings amounts to $7.64 billion. Tether holds Bitcoin assets that place it in position number six among global Bitcoin holders. In May 2023, the company declared it would use 15% of its quarterly profits to buy Bitcoin, leading to this asset accumulation.
Based on data from Spot On Chain blockchain analytics, the unspent Bitcoin gains from Tether’s holding exceed $3.86 billion. Through constant Bitcoin acquisitions each quarter the firm completes its purchases during period closings. The company demonstrates its persistent investment drive toward Bitcoin through its continuously growing reserve accumulation despite periodic market fluctuations.
The Bitcoin accumulation by Tether has coincided with its practice of disinfecting extra USDT stablecoins into circulation. The platform minted $1 billion USDT through its operations on the Tron network within the previous day. The Tron-based USDT supply now exceeds $8 billion in total. Since the beginning of the current year, Tether has issued $40 billion worth of new USDT stablecoin tokens.
The stablecoin market shows increasing competition as the company takes recent steps forward during this period. Ripple introduced its RLUSD token to the market while Circle indicates a future IPO filing during the coming month. Tether diminished its European market operations when MiCA regulations took effect.
Bitcoin maintains its current value at $83,112 with a 1.94% daily increase as initially reported. The market showed renewal through a substantial increase in trading activities, which reached $27.3 billion. Analysis shows digital asset market volatility will stay high because both political conditions and institutional participation act as strong market drivers.
