Tether International (TI) released its Q1 2025 attestation that reveals financial results. These results indicate the company’s expanding influence in the global digital asset market. The report, which has been completed by BDO, which is one of the top-five independent accounting firm, has confirmed that the Tether’s total exposure to U.S. Treasuries is approaching $120 billion.
This figure is inclusive of both direct and indirect holdings through money market funds and reverse repo agreements.
Tether Makes Profit from Traditional Investments
From the press release, the company has made over $1 billion in profit through traditional investments which include US government bonds, even though the cryptocurrency market has been unstable. The company’s gold holdings also did well and helped to balance out the ups and the downs in the crypto market. Due to this, the company Tether has $5.6 billion as extra funds which shows that the company has a great liquidity and is managing its risks pretty well.
Moreover, more and more people are using Tether’s stablecoin USDT as around 46 million new wallets were created during the first quarter of 2025 and there was an increase of $7 billion USDT tokens in its circulating supply. This indicates that the people around the world are gaining trust in the company and want more stable digital assets that are linked to the US dollar.
Investment in Sustainable Technologies
Tether has also invested $2 billion in various areas such as renewable energy, artificial intelligence and data infrastructure through its investment arm. These investment are not a part of the funds backing its cryptocurrency USDT, but this shows that Tether is set to support sustainable and innovative technologies as it grows.
In Q1 2025, the company also became licensed in El Salvador and is a legit stablecoin issuer within the region. This again adds credibility to the company and shows that the company is committed to follow rules and regulation to expand its reach within different regions.
On the other hand, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has also highlighted the company’s mission to responsibly and compliantly power the digital economy and solidify the role of the U.S. dollar on the global stage. This comes at a time when the CEO announced at TOKEN2049, the plans to launch a new U.S. stablecoin by late 2025 or early 2026. This indicates that the company is looking out for innovation in the sector.
As of March 31, 2025, the company’s total asset stood at $149.3 billion and with liabilities of $143.7 billion. This confirms that the assets exceed liabilities and all issued tokens remain fully backed.
