Tether has given you a sample that all practitioners should support the Bitcoin ecosystem, not for anything else, but for security.
Bitcoin has no ecology, and after multiple halvings, it will affect security, and all exchanges and institutions should pay attention to it.
Tether is a staunch supporter of BTC.
Many people think that @saylor's strategy is a "big blowhard" for BTC (not in a derogatory sense, but in a teasing way), and actually, @Tether_to is too.
Let's take a look at what Tether has done with BTC:
1. Investment in Bitcoin
1️⃣ Since 2023, Tether has allocated 15% of its net operating profit to purchase Bitcoin as part of its reserve assets. As of now, Tether holds 92,646 BTC, worth approximately $7.8 billion, making it the sixth largest Bitcoin holder in a single wallet.
2️⃣ In 2025, Tether directly invested 31,500 BTC in the American Bitcoin company Twenty One, acquiring 51.7% voting rights, intending to challenge MicroStrategy's Bitcoin reserve strategy.
2. Support for BTC expansion
1️⃣ Tether issued USDT on @Liquid_BTC.
2️⃣ Tether made early investments in the Omni protocol, a second-layer protocol based on the Bitcoin blockchain, although it was ultimately abandoned.
3️⃣ Tether has consistently supported the development of projects including 【Lightning Network @lightning】【RGB @lnp_bp】【ARK @ArkLabsHQ】.
It has clearly stated its intention to introduce USDT into the Lightning Network, repeatedly mentioning that it will issue USDT through RGB, and its latest articles continue to highlight this support:
4️⃣ Tether's wallet will support the Spark protocol @lightspark.
5️⃣ Tether plans to deploy computing power through OCEAN @ocean_blocks (a decentralized Bitcoin mining protocol) to promote the decentralization of Bitcoin mining infrastructure and utilize renewable energy for mining, supporting the sustainable development of the BTC network.
6️⃣ The recently popular @PlasmaFDN is a BTC sidechain launched by Tether.
7️⃣ Recently, Tether transferred 14,000 BTC (worth over $1.4 billion) to Twenty One Capital, supporting Twenty One's Bitcoin-native financial products (such as BTC lending, capital market products) and promoting Bitcoin culture (including content creation and media).
Did you see that? Tether not only buys BTC but is also laying out almost all possible development paths for BTC's future, building infrastructure (wallets) based on BTC, experimenting with sidechains, and so on. It is truly deserving of the title "big pump for BTC."
