📊 According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, Tether holds approximately 150,000 BTC worth $11.5 billion—50,000 BTC more than disclosed in the reserve report. 🏦 Ardoino revealed this figure in Lugano. 📈 The report thus understates the position by 50,000 BTC. 📊 Valued at $11.5 billion for 150,000 BTC. 💡 This figure remains an oral statement made on stage, not an audited verification. Until the report and the statement align, it remains unclear where the additional coins are accounted for. If confirmed, Tether would become one of the largest BTC holders, and for a stablecoin issuer, disclosing a position of this scale is a matter of trust. 🎯 I’m watching the next reserve report closely: If the higher figure is clearly reflected there, the discrepancy is explained. If it’s absent, it remains a transparency issue. Source: Bitcoin Magazine $BTC #Tether
