The firm expanded its US Treasury exposure to $127 billion by June 30, maintaining $105 billion in direct holdings and $21 billion through indirect channels such as money market funds. This represents an $8 billion increase compared to the first quarter, while shareholder capital held steady at $5.5 billion.

Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, emphasized the company’s momentum in a recent statement: “Q2 2025 affirms what markets have been telling us all year: trust in Tether is accelerating. With over $127 billion in US Treasury exposure, robust Bitcoin and gold reserves, and over $20 billion in new USDT issued, we’re not just keeping pace with global demand, we’re shaping it.”
