Decrypt reports that Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated at the Plan B Forum in Lugano that the company owns approximately 150,000 Bitcoin. This figure is about 50,000 more than the 100,060 Bitcoin indicated in Tether's Q3 reserve report. The discrepancy raises questions about the transparency of Tether's reserves.
