Tether's Deal with Twenty One Capital

Tether purchased 4,812.2 Bitcoin at a price of $95,319 each and transferred them to an escrow wallet on May 9. Cantor Equity Partners disclosed this in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13.

Details on Bitcoin Assets

Following this transaction, Twenty One's total Bitcoin holdings have reached 36,312 BTC. Cantor Equity Partners holds 31,500 BTC on behalf of the firm, which will trade under the ticker XXI once the merger is complete.

Competition in the Bitcoin Investment Space
