Arthur Hayes: Tether’s Strategy Depends on Fed Rate Cuts and Poses a Risk to USDT
- Arthur Hayes believes that Tether is focusing on the Fed’s rate cut.
- He warned that a 30% drop in the price of bitcoin and gold could leave Tether without capital.
- That is, it would theoretically make USDT insolvent, as the crypto expert stressed.
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of the BitMEX crypto exchange, said that the latest audit of Tether indicates that the company expects the Federal Reserve to cut its key rate, which could drastically reduce its interest income.
According to him, this is why the USDT issuer is increasing the share of gold and bitcoin in its reserves — as a hedge against the “falling price of money.”
Hayes stressed that such a strategy carries risks.
He also suggested that “some large holders and exchanges will demand a real-time view of their B/S so they can assess the solvency risk of Tether”.
In his opinion, the situation may attract significant attention from traditional media.
As a reminder, at the end of Q3, the company acquired $1 billion worth of bitcoins, and its net profit since the beginning of the year has reached $10 billion.
At the same time, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed in a commentary to Bloomberg that the company forecasts $15 billion in profit by 2025.
According to Jefferies, Tether has also become one of the world’s largest holders of gold outside the central bank sector. As of the end of September 2025, the company’s reserves amounted to 116 tonnes of gold, which is about the same amount as Hungary and South Korea. The company also relies on tokenised gold as part of its investment products.

STRF Has Performed Best During the Recent Bounce
The post STRF Has Performed Best During the Recent Bounce appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy’s (MSTR) senior perpetual preferred stock, STRF, is increasingly standing out as the company’s most successful credit instrument since its launch in March. Trading at $110, STRF has risen 36% from issuance and has rebounded 20% from its Nov. 21 low of $92. That date also marked bitcoin’s local bottom near $80,000, highlighting the strong correlation between STRF and bitcoin. STRF occupies the top tier of Strategy’s preferred structure. It pays a fixed 10% annual cash dividend and features governance rights plus penalty based step ups if payments are missed. Even with its premium pricing pushing the effective yield down to about 9.03%, demand remains strong due to the security’s senior protections and long duration credit profile. In late October, executive chairman Michael Saylor highlighted a growing credit spread between STRF and the junior STRD. The spread measures the extra yield investors demand to hold higher risk junior securities, which is now at 12.5%. At the Nov. 21 low, that differential widened to an all time high of 1.5 as investors crowded into senior exposure, STRD was trading as low as $65. The spread has since normalized to around 1.3. Divergence is now visible across Strategy’s preferred suite. STRC, has seen four dividend rate increases to sustain investor interest. Strategy’s equity has also rebounded, climbing from a Dec 1 low of $155 to about $185, reflecting improved sentiment across both the company’s balance sheet and the bitcoin market since announcing a $1.44 billion cash buffer resevere for the preferred dividend payments.
