Tether, a leading stablecoin company, reported a record-breaking $2.5 billion profit in Q3 2024, pushing its yearly earnings to $7.7 billion.

Its financial success stems from high demand for its USDt stablecoin, substantial U.S. Treasury bond holdings, and increased market activity.

USDt circulation has risen nearly 30% this year, with $120 billion in circulation by Q3.

Tether’s assets, now worth $134.4 billion, include $105 billion in cash reserves and $102.5 billion in U.S. Treasury bills, making it one of the world’s top 18 holders of U.S. debt.

Tether also saw $1.1 billion in unrealized gold profits and holds 7,100 Bitcoin. Investments span sectors like renewable energy, AI, and telecom.
