Tether is a big fan of BTC
Many people think that @saylor's Strategy is a BTC "big blow" (not a pejorative term, but a joke), but in fact, @Tether_to is also a bit of a game.
Let's take a look at what Tether has done on BTC:
1. Investments on Bitcoin
1️⃣ From 2023, 15% of net operating profit will be used to buy Bitcoin as part of its reserve assets. As of now, Tether holds 92,646 BTC, worth about $7.8 billion, making it the sixth-largest Bitcoin holder in a single wallet.
2️⃣ In 2025, Tether will take a direct stake in Twenty One, a U.S. bitcoin company, with 31,500 BTC, gaining 51.7% of the voting rights, intending to challenge MicroStrategy's bitcoin reserve strategy company.
2. Support for BTC expansion
1️⃣Tether issues USDT on @Liquid_BTC
2️⃣Tether invested early in the Omni protocol, a layer-2 protocol based on the Bitcoin blockchain, although it was eventually abandoned
3️⃣Tether has been supporting the development of [Lightning Network @lightning], [RGB @lnp_bp] [ARK @ArkLabsHQ].
It has made it clear that it will introduce USDT to the Lightning Network, and it has repeatedly stated that it will issue USDT through RGB, and its latest article continues to mention such support:
4️⃣Tether's wallet will support the Spark protocol @lightspark
5️⃣Tether plans to support the sustainability of the BTC network by deploying computing power through OCEAN @ocean_blocks (Decentralized Bitcoin Mining Protocol), promoting the decentralisation of Bitcoin mining infrastructure, and mining with renewable energy
6️⃣ The most popular @PlasmaFDN is the BTC sidechain launched by Tether
7️⃣Tether recently transferred 14,000 BTC (worth more than $1.4 billion) to Twenty One Capital to support Twenty One's Bitcoin-native financial products (such as BTC lending, capital market products) and Bitcoin culture promotion (including content creation and media).
Have you seen that Tether not only buys BTC, but also lays out almost all possible development paths of BTC in the future, builds infrastructure (wallet) based on BTC, makes sidechain attempts, etc., and deserves to say that it is the "big pump" of BTC.
