In a significant move within the cryptocurrency market, Tether has increased its Bitcoin holdings by acquiring an additional 8,888 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $627 million. This purchase, confirmed through wallet checks and on-chain data, positions Tether as the seventh-largest Bitcoin holder globally, with a total holding of 75,354 BTC worth around $5.2 billion. This acquisition marks Tether's continued investment in Bitcoin, following a similar purchase of 8,888 BTC in the previous quarter. The transaction was noted to have been made from Bitfinex to one of the richest Bitcoin addresses, speculated to be Tether's. This strategic investment comes amidst a broader context of cryptocurrency security concerns, with March witnessing a decrease in crypto hacks but still significant losses. Approximately $79 million was lost to exploits, hacks, and scams, with about $69 million recovered, marking a 48% decrease from February. The incidents included phishing (~$21m), exit scams (~$5.7m), flash loans (~$21.9m), and exploits (~$52.1m), highlighting ongoing security challenges in the Web3 space.
