  • Tether gains a profit of more than $1 billion in its Bitcoin holdings, while BTC sees substantial growth.
  • The platform currently owns a total of 57,576 BTC, worth $2.4B, accumulated at a rate of $22,480 per coin.
  • The profit is mainly because of Tether’s strategy of purchasing BTCs using a portion of its net profits.

Tether, the blockchain-enabled platform and issuer of USDT stablecoin, has reportedly acquired a profit of over $1.1 billion from its Bitcoin holdings. The remarkable surge in BTC price over the past few days, surpassing $41,000, has greatly contributed to the 85%+ profit in Tether’s BTC holdings.

In a recent X post shared by Wu Blockchain, Chinese crypto journalist Colin Wu shed light on the total 57,576 Bitcoins, worth $2.4 billion, accumulated by Tether at a rate of $22,480 per coin. As per the tweet, 53,492 Bitcoins of the total collection were reserved before March 2023.
