Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said at the Plan ₿ Forum in Lugano that the company holds approximately 150,000 BTC, making it one of the largest known corporate bitcoin holders. Ardoino said Tether serves more than 730 million users globally, adding roughly 30 million new wallets per quarter. Per Tether's Q3 2026 attestation, the company holds about $122.8 billion in U.S. Treasury bills directly, or $132.4 billion including repurchase agreements, with excess reserves of approximately $7.95 billion. The disclosure underscores the scale of the stablecoin issuer's balance sheet and its growing exposure to bitcoin price movements. Ardoino also outlined Tether's "Independence Stack" initiative spanning energy, bitcoin mining, peer-to-peer communications, self-custody wallets, and on-device AI. Watch for Tether's next quarterly attestation and any regulatory scrutiny of its reserve composition.
