Tether has added another $70 million in Bitcoin to its reserves, lifting its total stash to 91,141 BTC, or about $7.2 billion at current prices.<\/p>\n

The latest move<\/a> came through a withdrawal of 951 BTC from Bitfinex, according to on-chain data cited in the report.<\/p>\n

That keeps Tether among the biggest Bitcoin<\/a> holders on record and extends a buying pattern<\/a> the company has followed for years.<\/p>\n

Reserve Stack Grows Again<\/h2>\n

The purchase was not presented as a one-off trade. The report said Tether<\/a> has been building its Bitcoin position since 2023, using about 15% of company profits for the buys.<\/p>\n

It also said the firm usually pulls the coins from Bitfinex after each quarter ends, which is the same kind of transfer seen in this latest move.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arkham Intelligence data<\/a> placed the value of the transfer at a little over $70 million. The stablecoin issuer\u2019s reserve address now holds 91,141 BTC, a stack that puts it in fifth place among on-chain Bitcoin holders.<\/p>\n

The purchase is part of Tether\u2019s effort to diversify its operating assets and support the reserves behind USDT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The timing landed while Bitcoin was still under pressure. BTC was struggling through a downturn, even as some traders treated the new Tether buy as a possible sign of steadier demand ahead.<\/p>\n

For now, though, the purchase itself is best read as another step in a long-running treasury policy rather than a sudden shift in strategy.<\/p>\n

ETF Flows Add Another Layer<\/h2>\n

The Bitcoin buy also arrived alongside stronger activity i<\/a>n the US spot ETF market. Data from Farside Investors showed net inflows of over $400 million on Tuesday, April 14, with BlackRock\u2019s IBIT accounting for $213.8 million of that total. The rebound in flows was another sign that institutional money was still moving into the market.<\/p>\n

Those inflows followed a $290 million outflow on Monday, showing how quickly demand had swung back. The data linked the turnaround to better US PPI inflation numbers<\/a> and easing tension around US-Iran talks, which helped lift sentiment after the prior day\u2019s pullback.<\/p>\n
