Tether, the issuer of the USDT stable token, announced the addition of 8,888 Bitcoin 
$80,319 in the first quarter of 2025. This acquisition, valued at approximately $735 million, aligns with Tether’s long-term strategy of accumulating Bitcoin. The purchase occurred during a significant downturn when Bitcoin’s price had dropped by 12%.
Tether’s Acquisition Strategy
In a May 2023 announcement, the company revealed that 15% of its quarterly profit would be allocated to Bitcoin purchases. Under this strategy, Tether consistently buys BTC. Currently, the firm holds 92,647 Bitcoin, with an estimated asset value of around $7.64 billion.
In the last 24 hours, $1 billion worth of USDT was also produced on TronDAO, bringing the firm’s total production to approximately $40 billion last year. Additionally, developments such as Ripple 
$1’s RLUSD launch and Circle’s market expansion efforts have been observed, influencing competitive dynamics in the sector.
Bitcoin Price Movements
Bitcoin’s price has increased by 1.94%, reaching $83,112, with daily trading volume hitting $27.3 billion. Market experts note that rising trading volumes and volatility are key factors to monitor. There are concerns that prices may test significant support levels, especially with upcoming international developments and new tariff wars looming.
