Tether Posts $1B Profit, Reveals $120B in US Treasury Exposure in Q1 2025 Financials

Tether reaches US$1B in operating profits in Q1 2025, maintaining US$5.6B in reserves as a safety net.
US$120 B in treasury exposure is a record for the company including direct and indirect investments.
USD₮ circulation grew by US$7 billion and new user wallets rose by 13%.

Stablecoin Giant Tether has confirmed more than US$1 billion (AU$1.5 billion) in operating profits in Q1 2025 largely driven by its US Treasury investment, according to its latest financial report, backed by accounting firm BDO.

The company’s US Treasury exposure is close to US$120 billion (AU$187.2 billion), the highest in its history, which includes indirect holdings through money market funds and reverse repos. This conservative asset allocation has driven stable returns for the company despite market turbulence. The performance of gold has also helped offset some of the volatility in the crypto sector.

As of 31 March 2025, Tether’s total assets stood at US$149.3 billion (AU$232.8 billion) with liabilities of US$143.7 billion (AU$224.1 billion). This leaves US$5.6 billion (AU$8.7 billion) in reserves which, while down from the US$7 billion (AU$10.9 billion) from last quarter, still leaves the company with a risk management buffer.
