Tether has ramped up its Bitcoin reserves, now reaching a staggering $5.3 billion. And that’s not all – their Bitcoin wallet has seen a jaw-dropping 128% increase, adding up to an impressive $2.94 billion in unrealized profits.
Tether has been strategically building up its Bitcoin reserves since the start of 2023, and their efforts have paid off in a big way.

This groundbreaking move will not only boost Tether’s stability but also diversify their backing.
