USDT<\/a> stablecoin issuer Tether<\/a> has expanded its Bitcoin<\/a> holdings by acquiring 7,629 BTC valued at roughly $705 million, according to on-chain data<\/a> from Arkham Intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The purchase elevates Tether's Bitcoin holdings to 82,983 BTC, worth approximately $7.68 billion as of press time. The firm now ranks as the sixth-largest Bitcoin holder globally, based on Bitinfocharts data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The purchase is part of Tether's strategy to allocate 15% of its profits to acquiring more Bitcoin, a plan first announced in May 2023.<\/p>\n

Since then, the firm has consistently expanded its Bitcoin holdings<\/a> every quarter as part of efforts to diversify its reserves, which include gold, cash equivalents, and other short-term investments.<\/p>\n

MiCA FUD<\/h2>\n

Tether's latest acquisition comes as its flagship stablecoin, USDT, faces regulatory pressure in the European Union.<\/p>\n

These rules impose stringent requirements on stablecoin issuers, including a controversial 30% reserve mandate in traditional financial institutions.<\/p>\n

Quinten Fran\u00e7ois, co-founder of WeRate, argued<\/a> that this requirement undermines operational efficiency by restricting the flexibility to generate income from assets like US treasuries, which is a cornerstone of Tether's revenue strategy.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois also noted that this requirement could hamper Tether's ability to use its profits to bolster its reserves and reduce the reliance on traditional financial systems.<\/p>\n

Additionally, regulatory experts like BCAS IO's Jonathan Galea clarified<\/a> that stablecoins like USDT, which are not actively marketed in the EU, may not require MiCA authorization<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Galea suggested that compliance concerns might be overstated, as trading platforms can list these assets without direct issuer solicitation. He stated:<\/p>\n

“USDt is not the only stablecoin which is not offered to the public in the Union. There's a lot of other stablecoins out there the issuers of which will not need to be authorised under MiCA – just because someone is not authorised in line with a specific law does not make them non-compliant with that law.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino<\/a> has urged the community to disregard the FUD surrounding the USDT digital asset, stating<\/a> that:<\/p>\n

“USDT is Safe… Competitors are just desperate to make you believe things that don't exist.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
