Oh, how thrilling! 🎉 The stablecoin maestros at Tether have gone and done it again, splashing out a neat 8,888.8888888 BTC in Q4 2025. Their stash now nudges past 96,000 coins-worth a cool $8.4 billion, darling. Such drama, such flair! 🌟
CEO Paolo Ardoino, ever the drama queen, confirmed the purchase on New Year’s Eve, because why not? 🥂 This marks the third time this year they’ve bought exactly 8,888 Bitcoin. Truly, a man with a plan-or perhaps a penchant for numerology? 🤷♂️
The Art of Bitcoin Hoarding: Tether’s Masterclass 🎩
Since 2023, Tether’s been playing the long game, funneling up to 15% of quarterly profits into Bitcoin. No speculative shenanigans here-just a stately waltz into the sunset with their new favorite dance partner. 💃
Blockchain sleuths at Arkham Intelligence (ever the nosy parkers) reveal Tether shuffled 961 BTC from Bitfinex in November, then shipped 8,888.8 BTC to their “vault” on New Year’s Day. Total haul? A breezy 9,850 BTC-roughly $876 million if you’re keeping score. 📊
Top Five BTC Collector? Mais Oui! 🎉
With 96,185 BTC in their treasure chest, Tether’s now the fifth-largest Bitcoin address globally. Trailing only exchanges like Binance and MicroStrategy’s crypto-conquistadors. Their average cost? A modest $51,100 per BTC. At today’s prices? They’re sitting on $3.5 billion in “oops, we’re rich.” 💸
Gold, Bonds, BTC-Oh My! 💎
Bitcoin’s just the appetizer, darling. Tether’s reserves include $97.6 billion in U.S. Treasuries (they’re practically a central bank’s side hustle) and 116 metric tons of gold. That’s more gold than most dictators’ vaults! 🏛️
Twenty One Capital: The Side Hustle 🎩
They’ve also got Twenty One Capital, their Bitcoin baby traded on the NYSE. With 43,514 BTC, it’s the third-largest public stash. Rumors of Tether selling? Paolo waved them off like a pesky mosquito: “Just moving coins to our other wallet, dear!” 🎭
Market Volatility? Darling, I’m Bored. 🥱
Bitcoin dipped below $90,000 in Q4? Tether yawned and kept buying. While new corporate adopters dwindled (only nine in Q4-how droll), Tether and MicroStrategy carried on like it’s 2021. Japan’s Metaplanet even joined the fray, hoarding 4,279 BTC. 🚀
The Verdict: Tether’s Still the It-Girl 🌟
In short, Tether’s Q4 spree cements them as crypto’s most glamorous accumulator. With 96k BTC direct and 43k via Twenty One Capital, they’re not just a stablecoin-oh no, darling. They’re a lifestyle. 💋
