Tether International Ltd., the company behind the world’s leading stablecoin USDT, posted a net profit of $4.9 billion in Q2 2025, as stablecoins gain momentum in mainstream finance. This performance reflects strong reserve management, asset diversification, and growing market demand for tokenized dollars.
Tether Holds $162.5B in Reserves, Exceeds Liabilities by $5.4B
According to its latest attestation, Tether held $162.5 billion in total reserves as of June 30, compared to $157.1 billion in liabilities, mostly representing USDT in circulation. This leaves a surplus of $5.4 billion in excess reserves, solidifying the firm’s financial position during a period of rapid stablecoin expansion.
Tether’s exposure to U.S. Treasuries crossed $127 billion, driven by direct holdings and instruments like money market funds and reverse repos.
Bitcoin and Gold Appreciation Add to Profits
The firm’s investment strategy continues to benefit from crypto market performance. Tether held 83,200 BTC, worth approximately $8.9 billion, in its reserves. It also saw $2.6 billion in mark-to-market gains from its Bitcoin and gold holdings, in addition to $3.1 billion in recurring operational profits.
$4 Billion Committed to U.S.-Based Tech and Energy Projects
Beyond reserve backing, Tether has directed over $4 billion into U.S.-based initiatives, including artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and renewable energy. These efforts reflect a broader strategy to diversify income and expand the utility of digital assets.
Notable investments include XXI Capital, a Bitcoin treasury firm preparing for a public debut, and support for video platform Rumble and Tether’s proprietary crypto wallet.
Regulatory Compliance and the GENIUS Act
With the recent passage of the GENIUS Act regulating stablecoins in the U.S., Tether is preparing to launch an on-shore version of its stablecoin to meet new legal standards. The firm emphasized its commitment to regulatory transparency and responsible growth in the evolving digital asset space.
Conclusion
Tether’s Q2 report confirms its status as a pillar of the stablecoin economy, blending strong financial reserves, profitable investments, and a growing role in next-gen tech infrastructure. Its proactive approach to compliance and innovation could shape the next chapter of digital finance.
