Tether Stake Increases to 21.4% in Bitcoin Mining Firm Bitdeer
Despite recent price drops, institutional investors like Tether are increasing Bitcoin holdings, demonstrating long-term confidence fueled by technological advancements in mining.
Bitcoin (BTC) price drop below $83,000 hasn’t stopped big investors from adding more cryptocurrency to their holdings. This shows they still believe in Bitcoin’s future, even though the price goes up and down.
Tether’s actions, like investing more in Bitcoin mining with Bitdeer, show that many big investors are buying more Bitcoin despite price changes.
Tether Expands Bitcoin Stakes in Bitdeer
Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, is investing more in Bitcoin mining. A recent SEC filing shows Tether and its partners now own a big part (21.4%) of Bitdeer (BTDR). This move fits with Bitdeer’s plan to build a complete mining system, from chip design to power.
Bitdeer’s new technology makes Tether’s investment look smart. Their new SEALMINER A3 mining chip uses less power than others in tests. The next chip, the SEALMINER A4, is expected to be even better.
Furthermore, Tether’s help paid for this, including a $100 million investment in May 2025 to help Bitdeer build more data centers and better hardware. Bitdeer also bought Desiwe, a chip design company, in June 2025 for $140 million, making them even stronger.
Tether’s significant investment in Bitdeer is not an isolated incident. Other notable companies are also demonstrating a clear strategy of Bitcoin accumulation, reinforcing the belief in Bitcoin’s future value.
Moreover, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), for instance, recently disclosed in an SEC Form 8-K filing the acquisition of 130 BTC between March 10th and 16th, 2025, for approximately $10.7 million. This purchase brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to a considerable 499,226 BTC, accumulated at a total cost of $33.1 billion and an average price of $66,360 per coin.
Metaplanet Buys More BTC
Metaplanet, a publicly traded Japanese company, has announced a $12.54 million (1.879 billion yen) investment in 150 BTC, increasing its Bitcoin reserves to 3,200 BTC. The average acquisition price for Metaplanet’s recent purchase was $83,583 (12,526,226 yen) per BTC.
The continued accumulation of BTC by major institutional investors, despite recent price fluctuations, provides a strong indication of enduring confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term prospects. These strategic investments, particularly Tether’s expansion into Bitcoin mining through its substantial stake in Bitdeer, underscore the growing maturity and institutional acceptance of Bitcoin within the broader financial landscape.
