Tether Holdings Limited, the issuer of USDT stablecoin, has unveiled the attestation report for the first quarter of FY24. The latest attestation, as of March 31, 2024, goes beyond the reserves backing Tether Fiat-denominated stablecoins. Moreover, it provides a comprehensive overview of the entire Tether Group’s financial prowess.

Tether Reports Gigantic Net Profit

In a groundbreaking achievement, the first quarter of 2024 witnessed Tether Group’s net profit soaring to an astonishing $4.52 billion, marking a significant milestone in the company’s history. The profits were primarily driven by net operating profits, largely derived from US Treasury holdings, and supplemented by mark-to-market gains in Bitcoin and Gold positions.

Moreover, Q1 2024 showcased the USDT issuer’s unparalleled success in increasing both direct and indirect ownership of U.S. Treasuries, now exceeding $90 billion. Furthermore, this included indirect exposure through overnight reverse-repurchase agreements and investments in US Treasuries via money market funds.

The USDT issuer’s commitment to transparency was further underscored by the revelation of its net equity for the first time, standing at an impressive $11.37 billion as of March 31, 2024. Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, emphasized the company’s dedication to transparency, stability, liquidity, and responsible risk management. He stated, “With the first attestation of 2024, Tether has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to transparency, stability, liquidity, and responsible risk management.”

The Tether CEO added, “As shown in this latest report, Tether continues to shatter records with a new profit benchmark of $4.52 billion, reflecting the company’s sheer financial strength and stability. In reporting not just the composition of our reserves, but now the Group’s net equity of $11.37 billion, Tether is again raising the bar in the cryptocurrency industry in the realms of transparency and trust.”
