Tether on the way to becoming the Bitcoin market leader: profit explosion and relocation!

More and more companies are following Michael Saylor's successful accumulation strategy to expand their Bitcoin holdings. A prime example is Tether, the leading stablecoin provider behind USDT, which is actively investing in Bitcoin and has recently significantly increased its total holdings.

At the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino reported on the impressive result of a profit of $13 billion last year. Tether currently holds over 100,000 Bitcoin, giving them a value of at least $10.6 billion. Additionally, Tether owns more than 50 tons of gold, which represents another value of around $5 billion. Ardoino clarified that gold is not in competition with Bitcoin, but rather with fiat currencies.

Tether's growth and investment strategy

In the first quarter of 2025, Tether made a profit of around $1 billion. A significant step in their investment strategy was the purchase of 8,888 Bitcoin for approximately $735 million on March 31, 2025, as noted by Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. This transaction increased Tether's total holdings of Bitcoin to 92,646 BTC, representing a value of $7.75 billion. The purchase has not only made Tether one of the largest Bitcoin players, but its reserve wallet is now among the six largest Bitcoin addresses worldwide.

Tether has a clear strategy, which is to use part of their net profits to purchase Bitcoin. Since their first Bitcoin purchase in September 2022, they have committed to reserving 15% of their net profits for quarterly BTC purchases. Ardoino predicts that Tether could be the largest Bitcoin miner in the world by the end of the year.

Future outlook and market position

Currently, USDT has a market capitalization of $153 billion and is considered the world's most popular stablecoin, especially in emerging markets. Tether's growing influence and aggressive investment strategy in Bitcoin stands out, especially as the industry as a whole is hitting new records for capital inflows.

The developments in Tether and the growing popularity of Bitcoin show that the cryptocurrency market remains dynamic and both companies and investors must adapt to thrive in this ever-changing environment. Relocating Tether's headquarters to El Salvador could be another step in the company's long-term growth strategy.

Michael Saylor has already recognized Tether's outstanding performance, highlighting the momentum and opportunities for future investments in the Bitcoin sector. Saylor himself has acquired a total of 528,185 BTC since August 2020 with a current value of $44.18 billion and warns of the enormous potential that the Bitcoin market still offers.
