Tether has minted over $20 billion worth of USDT since the start of 2025, pushing the stablecoin’s total circulation beyond $157 billion, according to its quarterly attestation report released on July 31.
The company noted that over $13.4 billion in USDT was issued during the second quarter alone, reflecting strong demand for the dollar-pegged token across global markets.
Tether emphasized that its reserve assets fully back all tokens in circulation.
As of the end of Q2 2025, the company’s exposure to US Treasuries stood at more than $127 billion. This includes $105.5 billion in direct Treasury holdings and $21.3 billion held indirectly, an $8 billion increase from the previous quarter.
With this level of exposure, Tether remains among the largest non-sovereign holders of US government debt.
Speaking on these milestones, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said:
“Q2 2025 affirms what markets have been telling us all year: trust in Tether is accelerating. With over $127 billion in U.S. 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.”
Tether’s profits and US investments
Tether reported a net profit of approximately $4.9 billion for Q2 2025, bringing its year-to-date total to $5.7 billion.
Of this, $3.1 billion came from recurring operational income, while $2.6 billion was generated from mark-to-market gains on its gold and Bitcoin holdings.
Meanwhile, Tether stated that its shareholder capital remains steady at $5.47 billion. This equity cushions against unexpected market shocks and highlights Tether’s commitment to financial resilience.
As a result, the stablecoin firm has begun directing a significant portion of its profits toward long-term initiatives.
Over the past six months, the company has invested heavily in infrastructure projects, with the US emerging as a key market.
According to the firm, roughly $4 billion has already been deployed domestically into ventures like XXI Capital and Rumble, including developing the Rumble Wallet.
Legal troubles
Despite its financial strength, the company faces two unresolved legal cases in New York.
The firm stated that one of the cases is a class-action suit related to the 2017–2018 Bitcoin market downturn. The other involves proceedings tied to the bankruptcy of crypto lender Celsius.
In both cases, Tether International is named as a defendant, but the firm’s management says potential outcomes cannot yet be reliably assessed.
As such, no provisions have been made in its financials for these litigations.
