Tether Denies Bitcoin Sell-Off – Confirms Buying BTC, Gold & Land
Rumors of Tether dumping Bitcoin? False.
CEO Paolo Ardoino has confirmed: “We didn’t sell any Bitcoin.” Instead, Tether continues to allocate profits into Bitcoin, gold, and even land.
The confusion came after data showed holdings dropped from 92,650 BTC (Q1) → 83,274 BTC (Q2). But Jan3 CEO Samson Mow clarified: nearly 20,000 BTC was simply transferred to support Twenty One Capital (XXI) — a Bitcoin-native initiative.
Net result: Tether actually increased its holdings.
As of now, Tether holds 100,521 $BTC (~$11.1B), solidifying its role as one of the largest corporate holders of Bitcoin.
On the macro side, El Salvador also made headlines — adding $50M in gold to diversify its reserves, while still holding 6,292 $BTC
Speculation & Opportunity:
Tether doubling down on hard assets (BTC, gold, land) sends a clear message: hedge against fiat uncertainty.
Large-scale accumulation signals long-term confidence in Bitcoin’s role as a reserve asset.
Market takeaway: As supply tightens and major players hoard $BTC , retail investors may find fewer entry points if prices rebound.
Bottom Line: Tether isn’t selling Bitcoin. They’re stacking it — along with gold. For investors, this is a powerful vote of confidence in Bitcoin as the ultimate long-term play.
