The company Tether Holdings added 951 bitcoin (BTC) to its reserves this April 15, 2026 for a value close to $70 million, raising its total holdings to 97,141 BTC. With this new purchase, the company exceeds $7.1 billion in bitcoin and consolidates itself among the largest institutional holders of the asset.
The operation was detected from string data showing the transfer of 951 BTC from Bitfinex to a wallet identified as “Tether: BTC Reserve”, previously linked to previous purchases by the company.
This acquisition is part of the policy adopted in 2023, through which the company allocates up to 15% of its operating profits to the purchase of bitcoinas reported by CriptoNoticias. The approach differs from other companies in the sector, as Tether uses surpluses from its own business instead of resorting to debt issues or capital increases.
The recent operation adds to other similar movements made by the company in recent months. In November last year, Tether moved 961 BTC from Bitfinex to its main reserve wallet, in a transaction then valued at approximately $97 million. Likewise, in June the company withdrawal 14,000 BTC from your reserve wallet to send to an address associated with Twenty One Capital, one of the companies linked to your conglomerate.
Currently, the company’s reserves include up to $141 billion in US sovereign debtin addition to a surplus of 6.3 billion dollars over its liabilities, according to its own financial reports.
In parallel, Tether maintains a diversification strategy which includes approximately $17.4 billion in gold, along with its growing accumulation of bitcoin as part of its capital allocation policy.
