Uncommon September in Crypto Database and Recent BTC Updates as Tether Transfers Billions in BTC

Defying all predictions, September 2025 turned out to be unexpectedly favorable for crypto asset. Although Bitcoin USD experienced a rise in the initial weeks of the month, the significant drop in the last week did not diminish those gains. Conversely, a blend of bullish BTC developments and steadfast buyers delivered robust price floor, laying a strong groundwork for BTC USDT to rise above $125,000 in Q4 2025.

Currently, the Bitcoin price holds steady above $116,000. The cryptocurrency has effectively recovered its losses from September 25. However, this upward movement is occurring on relatively low trading volume, but it has still boosted some of the top cryptos to buy. From a technical analysis perspective, a close above $118,000 may trigger an ascent toward previous all-time highs.

On Coinglass, investor sentiment appears overall optimistic. The long/short ratio for leading investor positions is at 1.5, yet many top accounts remain heavily shorted, maintaining a ratio of only 0.98. This bearish inclination is observable across platforms such as OKX and in most accounts. Meanwhile, although inflows to spot exchanges are varied, significant purchases have been noticed in the past eight hours.

Will Bitcoin USDT Surge in Q4 2025 Following an Uncommon Green September?

The gains in September may indicate a uptrend trajectory ahead for crypto enthusiasts and BTC traders. Historically, BTC has seldom concluded the month positively. For much of this decade, it has often closed in the red, bringing down top Solana meme coins along with it.

Additionally, throughout approximately 15 Septembers since Bitcoin became mainstream, only four have ended positively: in 2013, 2017, 2019, and 2023. Each instance was a unique occurrence, generally driven by special catalysts, such as the early adoption surge of 2017 or the ETF excitement of 2024.

This is why September is commonly referred to as “Rektember.” Nonetheless, with Bitcoin achieving a notable +5% increase last month, this favorable close may hint at even stronger performance ahead.

When September favors Bitcoin, the digital currency typically roars through Q4. Traditionally, Bitcoin USD has surged more than +50% in the quarter following a positive September. October itself often yields at least +25% gains, with November and December adding further momentum.

Several critical signals indicate this trend could be repeated. In previous years, from 2020 to 2022, the ambiguity of regulations and the SEC’s denial of spot BTC ETF approvals presented significant hurdles. However, this dramatically changed in 2024 when the agency approved the first wave of spot Bitcoin ETFs.

As reported by SoSoValue, U.S. institutions have acquired over $150Bn in shares of spot Bitcoin ETFs. On just September 30, they invested $429M, reigniting demand and enhancing the coin’s credibility.

This is Tether’s second significant Bitcoin acquisition; in Q1 2025, the USDT issuer purchased another $1Bn worth. According to Arkham, the firm now holds over 87,000 Bitcoin.

The accumulation approach is strategic. In 2023, Tether revised its policy to allocate up to +15% of quarterly profits to Bitcoin, regarding it as an optimal hedge against inflation. Simultaneously, the company is diversifying its reserves, integrating Bitcoin with assets like gold and real estate.
