Tether Surpasses Germany in US Treasury Bond Investments
Date: 2025-05-21 Author: Oliver Abernathy Categories: BUSINESS
Tether, the company that issues the USDT stablecoin, has reached an important financial milestone, becoming one of the largest investors in US government bonds. According to data published by Deutsche Bank, Tether's investment in US Treasuries has exceeded similar indicators of countries such as Germany, the UAE, and South Korea.
The company's CEO Paolo Ardoino announced this on the social network X, noting that Tether has already left Germany behind in terms of investment and is now aiming to overtake South Korea.
According to official information from the US Treasury Department, Tether currently holds about $120 billion in US bonds. For comparison, Germany has a similar figure of $111.4 billion. This makes Tether the largest non-government holder of US sovereign debt.
The growth in investments was made possible by high demand for USDT, as well as the company's strategic policy of using government bonds as a reserve asset. In addition, Tether uses gold and other financial instruments to strengthen the stability of its balance sheet. The company also emphasized that the gold reserve helped offset losses caused by the instability of the cryptocurrency market.
In addition to increasing its investment portfolio, in early May, Tether reported a record operating profit of over $1 billion per quarter. This underlines the strong financial position of the issuer of the most popular stablecoin.
Earlier, it became known that Tether acquired 4812.2 bitcoins worth $458.7 million on behalf of Twenty One Capital, which is expected to merge with Cantor Equity Partners in the near future. This move also reflects Tether's active investment strategy and its desire to expand its influence in both the cryptocurrency and traditional financial sectors.
