The idea that Tether could flip the script and end up holding more Bitcoin than dollars is straight-up galaxy brain thinking. If Tether’s reserves go full HODL mode, it’s not just about maintaining the peg—it could legit redefine what a stablecoin even means. A Bitcoin-backed Tether? That’s not propping up the dollar; it’s a one-way ticket to fiat decoupling. And that line about US default being the real risk? Spot on. Bitcoin’s the ultimate hedge against that clown show. This is why we stack sats and ditch the debt trap—let’s keep moving toward a Bitcoin standard!

He addresses the view that Tether could be seen as supportive of the US dollar—then presents arguments against it. Even in a scenario where Tether expands significantly and purchases large amounts of US Treasuries, the effect on US debt would still be minimal.
He also explores another idea:
Tether is accumulating Bitcoin gradually. Over time, its Bitcoin reserves could surpass its dollar holdings. If that were to happen, Tether might maintain its peg—or even exceed it. A stablecoin backed primarily by Bitcoin instead of Treasuries could potentially have a different valuation dynamic.
His conclusion:
“Tether isn’t rescuing the dollar. It might actually be helping the world move away from it.”
And this:
“The real risk to Tether isn’t volatility. It’s US default. And Bitcoin is the hedge.”
For those interested in the evolving relationship between stablecoins, fiat debt, and Bitcoin, the talk presents the concepts clearly.
