Tether Limited recently announced its financial status for the third quarter, with a net profit of $2.5 billion. So far this year, Tether's profits have reached a record-breaking $7.7 billion.
Tether's 'strong performance' in the third quarter was mainly attributed to its approximately $5 billion in gold holdings, recording a total of $1.1 billion in unrealized profits.
According to the latest assurance opinion from BDO, Tether has increased its excess reserve buffer to over $6 billion, growing by 15% over the past nine months.
As a result, the company's total equity reached a historic high of $14.2 billion, with combined assets of $134.4 billion.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated, 'By increasing our reserve buffer to over $6 billion and maintaining focus on strategic investments, Tether once again sets the standard for stability in the financial sector.'
Additionally, Tether's issuing company currently holds over $105 billion in cash and cash equivalents, including a record $102.5 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds.
This amount places the crypto asset company among the top 18 holders of U.S. Treasury bonds globally, surpassing Germany, Australia, and the UAE, and nearly $5 billion more than Tether's previous certification report.
Additionally, the company has acquired 7,100 BTC, currently valued at nearly $4.8 billion.
The circulation of the company's stablecoin Tether USD (USDT) surged to nearly $120 billion, growing by 30% so far this year. This is a historic high for USDT supply, equivalent to an increase of $27.8 billion.
Ardoino added, 'Reaching the $120 billion milestone and reporting a $102.5 billion exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds showcases the company's unparalleled financial strength.'
Apart from reserves, Tether's investment department has also expanded its proprietary investment portfolio to $7.7 billion, investing in renewable energy, BTC mining, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, and education.
