tldr; Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, added approximately $800 million worth of Bitcoin to its reserves on January 2, 2026, as Bitcoin traded near $89,000. This move aligns with Tether’s policy of allocating up to 15% of quarterly net profits to Bitcoin purchases, funded by income from U.S. Treasury bills. While Tether emphasizes that Bitcoin is not used for USDT redemptions, the addition raises questions about the balance-sheet risks of holding volatile assets. The company did not disclose specific details about the purchase or custody arrangements.

Dang if treasuries keep falling, that could spell bad news for Tether. Especially if it causes turbulence in the equity markets. Despite having the benefit of being independent/self custody, Bitcoin does not appear to be immune from global market volatility.
