In 2023, Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer, reported a significant financial surge, which led its assets to approach the $100 billion mark. With a $6.2 billion profit, as detailed in Tether’s Q4 attestation report released on January 31, the company showcased its strategic allocation of assets[^1^].

Tether’s Financial Milestones

Roughly $4 billion of the profits were generated from investments, including US Treasuries, Reverse Repo, and Money market funds, where the company holds the vast majority of its reserves[^1^]. As of December 31, Tether had total assets worth $97 billion, with $91.6 billion in liabilities[^1^].

“The fourth quarter witnessed a record-breaking net profit of $2.85 billion, of which ~$1 billion were primarily interests from US Treasuries, with the remaining primarily from the appreciation of Gold and Bitcoin reserves,” stated Tether[^1^].

Throughout last year, Tether prioritized topping up its excess reserve stash as insurance against insolvency. These excess reserves, now worth $5.4 billion, fully cover Tether’s outstanding secured loans worth $4.8 billion[^1^].

🤔 Q&A:
* Q: How does Tether ensure the stability of its stablecoins?

Tether’s Asset Breakdown

The majority of Tether’s portfolio comprises $82.06 billion in “cash and cash equivalents,” which includes $80.3 billion of US Treasuries[^1^]. It also holds investments in gold ($3.6 billion), Bitcoin (BTC) ($2.1 billion), and “other” holdings ($5.6 billion)[^1^].

Alongside these assets, Tether has invested $1.5 billion in VC investments, including areas like AI infrastructure, Bitcoin mining, and P2P telecommunications technology. However, these assets are not considered part of the reserves backing its tokens[^1^].

Tether’s CTO, Paolo Ardoino, emphasized, “The substantial net profits generated not only in the last quarter of the year but throughout the year, amounting to $6.2 billion, showcases our financial strength”[^1^].
