re: Tether FUD

From latest attestation announcement (Q3 2025):

"Tether will continue to maintain a multi-billion-dollar excess reserve buffer and an overall proprietary Group equity approaching $30 billion."

Tether had (at end of Q3 2025) ~7B in excess equity (on top of the ~184.5B stablecoin reserves) + another ~23B in retained earnings as part of our Tether Group equity.

Tether Group total assets: ~215B
Stablecoin liabilities: ~184.5B

S&P made the same mistake of not considering the additional Group Equity nor the ~500M in monthly base profits generated by U.S Treasury yields alone.

Some influencers are either bad at math or have the incentive to push our competitors.

Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

NAKAMOTO NATION EPISODE 5

In this immensely bullish episode of Nakamoto Nation, Bitcoin OG (and the man who orangepilled me) Austin Alexander (@BTCismoney) takes us on an incredible journey from the early days of Bitcoin when faucets gave away 5 BTC for free, to today's corporate #BTC revolution.

Austin shares his unbelievable story of discovering Bitcoin in 2011, watching it crash from $28 to $3, leaving potentially thousands of BTC on a work computer, and his eventual conviction that led him to a career in Bitcoin.

Austin explains why Bitcoin represents humanity's first universal, consistent unit of economic measure—comparing it to the invention of the kilometer—and why this will unlock unprecedented human potential.

NAKAMOTO NATION EPISODE #1: FIRST BITCOIN TREASURY IN THE MIDDLE EAST w/ @AbdullaBitcoin

In our first episode, we talk with Al Abraaj Restaurant Group’s CEO Abdulla Isa. He explains why the Bahraini chain became the Middle East’s first to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet.

From an interview during Bitcoin 2025 in Vegas, he outlines their “buy‑and‑hold‑forever” treasury strategy, the board‑room leap of faith, and the worldwide buzz that had conference‑goers recognizing the brand before its shawarmas.

Isa then dives into the ripple effects: Bitcoin’s scarcity as an inflation hedge, the open‑source ethos that welcomes even rivals, and how adopting BTC could reshape hiring, investment, and customer loyalty across the Gulf. A local food favorite turns global—inviting others to copy its recipe.

حساب الشركة للمهتمين في متابعة اخبارهم @AbraajRestGroup كل التوفيق لهم

وبإذن الله نشوف شركات عربية اخرى على نفس النهج 👍🏼

[عبدالله مشاط @AbdullahMashat]

شخصيًا أتمنى رؤية المزيد من الشركات التي تتبنى فلسفة خزانة بيتكوين بشكل مسؤول ينعكس إيجابًا على الملاك

أبراج مطروحة في السوق البحريني، ومن أراد يمكنه الاستثمار بها عبر السوق مباشرة (هذه معلومة وليست توصية)

شركات خزانة BTC هي اجدد Proxy استثماري وتوجد عدة امثلة عالمية مختلفة 👍🏼

[عبدالله مشاط @AbdullahMashat]

تحدثت سابقًا عن شركات خزانة بيتكوين وتمنيت وجود شركة عربية في المجال

توجد شركة بحرينية للمطاعم اصبحت هي الاولى التي تتبنى فلسفة خزانة BTC بعد شرائهم له

شركة أبراج مدرجة في السوق البحريني وتنوي التوسع في ملكية BTC عبر جمع اموال بغرض الشراء (مثل مايكل سايلور)

قصة يجب متابعتها 👍🏼

[Abdulla Isa @AbdullaBitcoin]

@NakamotoNation @F1 @AbraajRestGroup Makes total sense…
Imagine a Bitcoin avalanche rolling into Bahrain for F1 next year.
