Breaking news confirmed: a leading stablecoin issuer holds 87,296 Bitcoins, and this number is not to be taken lightly.
At the current price of $104,000, the market value of this batch of BTC soars directly to $9.09 billion, accounting for 5.6% of its total reserves—almost double the scale of last year!
Why did things suddenly blow up? Because the timing is too sensitive:
S&P has just downgraded this institution's reserve stability rating to "weak", with the straightforward reason being - "too much exposure to Bitcoin, and the risk buffer is pitifully thin". Prominent investor Jason Calacanis even publicly urged: hurry up and liquidate to switch to US Treasuries, don't play with fire!
The CEO firmly responded: We continuously use 15% of our profits to buy BTC, this is a strategy, and we do not accept any questioning.
The market is now polarized:
Optimists believe that if Bitcoin continues to rise, this institution will become the most hardcore whale player, and the belief value of stablecoins can rise again.
Pessimists worry that if the coin price is halved and a wave of redemptions occurs, will the nightmare of that explosion in 2022 replay?
To be honest, using Bitcoin at the level of 9 billion USD as a reserve asset is no longer just radical; it resembles a kind of gamble.
What do you think? Is this hoarding strategic weapons, or is it setting a time bomb for themselves? Let's discuss both bullish and bearish views.

My goodness, using 87k BTC directly as reserves? This move is truly insane... If the coin price takes another 50% slump, I would just laugh.
It makes sense that S&P got downgraded; the risk buffer is indeed terrifyingly thin.
The CEO's line "15% profit continuously buying BTC" sounds like the desperate last words of a gambler...
The drama from 2022 isn't over yet, another one already?
Is this guy really all in on the future or just digging a pit for himself?

This CEO is really bold, 9 billion just all in BTC, either become a legend or a joke, no middle ground.

A BTC reserve of 9 billion dollars, is this guy really crazy or really smart? If he bets right, he's a hero; if he bets wrong, he's a historical sinner.
Wow, 87,296 coins? How many people is this going to scare? Even the S&P is getting anxious.
The CEO's response this time is still somewhat impressive, continuously buying BTC with a 15% profit. Is this guy really a believer or just betting on a gradual rise?
The events of 2022 are still fresh in my memory, and this operation looks somewhat familiar.
But speaking of which, what if BTC really heads towards 500,000? Then this isn't just a gamble; this is strategic vision.
The question is, who dares to bet on this, using depositors' money...
Isn't this really playing with fire?
If you ask me, this is to scare people, or he really wants to prove something.
Anyway, I can't understand it, but I know it's either going to make a fortune or end in disaster.
