• The USDT stock reached a new high of over $186 billion following an almost $50-billion-new issue within the year
• U.S. Treasury exposure climbed to a record $141 billion, placing Tether among top global holders.

Tether’s 2025 Financial Performance Hits New Highs

As of 2025, Tether had generated net profits of more than $10 billion, ensuring that it could be ranked among the most profitable privately-owned crypto-players. The amount of excess reserves reached $6.3 trillion, or the assets were significantly exceeding the liabilities throughout the year.

At year end, there were approximately $192.9 billion total assets, and liabilities totaling nearly $186.5, nearly all of which were related to the issued digital tokens. The surplus demonstrates well-managed reserve and liquidity oriented focus even in the case of intense issuance.

The flow of the USDT issuance was particularly high during the second part of the year. The minting of that stretch alone came to approximately $30 billion because of the growing dollar demand in the trading, payment as well as in the emerging markets. Almost $50 billion in new USDT flowed into the market throughout the year which increased overall supply to a historic peak of more than $186 billion.

U.S. Treasuries Become the Core of Tether’s Reserves

As of 2025, Tether exposure to the debt of the U.S. government reached historic peaks, indicating the turn to the low-risk and high-liquidity assets. By December 31:

• U.S Treasury holdings exceeded $122billion
• Total direct and indirect exposure surpassed $141 billion, including reverse repo agreements

Such a scale elevates Tether to the ranks of the largest holders of U.S Treasuries in the world, being a factor that highlights its rising position in the position of providing channels to demand dollars in the world without necessarily having to go through the banking system.

At the same time, total reserve assets climbed to nearly $193 billion, also a record. The reserves always exceeded the liabilities, even in the case of a high rate of issue.

Excess Capital Fuels a $20B Investment Portfolio

On top of reserves that support the USDT, Tether developed a large investment department that is supported by surplus capital and profits. By Q4 2025, this proprietary portfolio had surpassed $20 billion representing AI, energy, fintech, media, agriculture, precious metals and digital asset treasury companies.

These investments do not in any way depend on USDT reserves or support issued tokens. Tether says this structure protects token holders while allowing the firm to deploy capital into long-term strategic areas.

CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized that growth in 2025 was driven by structural demand rather than speculation. According to him, USDT adoption continues to rise where banking access is slow or fragmented, positioning the stablecoin as a core piece of global crypto liquidity as 2026 approaches.
