Tether bought an additional 50,000 BTC, taking its reported holdings to 150,000 BTC, CEO Paolo Ardoino said, according to BlockBeats. The report said the purchase lifted total Bitcoin held by private companies above 200,000 BTC.
Company statement
The figures come from Ardoino’s announcement as reported by BlockBeats. The flash did not provide a transaction hash, purchase price, custody details or an independent audit of Tether’s balance.
The 150,000-BTC figure therefore represents the company’s reported cumulative holdings at the time of the announcement. It does not establish a Bitcoin-price outlook or imply that other private-company holdings were independently verified.
