Outside of equity investments, the company now ranks among the world’s largest holders of U.S. Treasuries—surpassing countries like Germany with over $120 billion in exposure across various instruments. These reserves support USDT’s dollar peg and are held primarily through Cantor Fitzgerald.
The investments follow a record $13 billion profit in 2024, enabling Tether to diversify into industries such as agriculture, sports, and media. While USDT remains dominant, growing regulatory scrutiny has prompted the company to explore launching a compliant, U.S.-specific stablecoin in the near future.
