Tether Releases Q2 2025 Report - Recorded Profit of $4.9 Billion

Tether Report Overview

The Q2 2025 report shows that Tether continues to lead with USDT supply reaching $157.1 billion, up $13 billion for the quarter and $20 billion since the beginning of the year. This shows growing demand from global payments and decentralized finance. Total assets are $162.5 billion, far exceeding obligations of $157.1 billion, creating excess reserves of $5.47 billion. This reinforces confidence in USDT's one-time solvency. Of this, $127 billion is exposed to US Treasury bonds, including $105.5 billion directly and $21.3 billion indirectly, demonstrating a stronger financial strategy than many countries that own US debt.

Impressive indicators in the report:

• A total of 157.1 billion USDt issued, end of Q2 2025.

• Total assets/reserves are $162.5 billion, end of Q2 2025.

• $5.47 billion in excess reserves, in addition to 100% reserves in the form of liquid assets backing all issued tokens, by the end of Q2 2025.

• Over $127 billion in US Treasury bonds (direct + indirect exposure), end of Q2 2025.

• $4.9 billion in net profit, Q2 2025 ($5.7 billion year-to-date)

• Supply increased by USD13 billion in Q2 2025 (up USD20 billion year-to-date).

Tether posted a net profit of $4.9 billion for the quarter, bringing its total first-half profit to $5.7 billion, primarily from bond interest ($3.1 billion) and revaluation of assets like Bitcoin and gold ($1.8 billion). This shows that Tether is not only stable, but also facilitates reinvestment in projects like XXI Capital and Rumble Wallet, while also enhancing the company's credibility in a changing market.

Tether Strengthens Position After GENIUS

Tether’s growth has been fueled by the widespread adoption of USDT, with daily trading volumes exceeding $100 billion, especially in emerging markets and DeFi platforms. The GENIUS Act, signed by President Donald Trump on July 19, 2025, creates a clear legal framework for stablecoins, encouraging Tether to increase its reserves in Treasury bonds to comply with transparency requirements. This is also in line with its diversification strategy, as the company added Bitcoin and gold to its portfolio, reaching a market cap of $1.8 billion in the quarter. The current period is also supported by attractive US Treasury bond yields (4-5% in 2025), providing stable returns, and increasing institutional inflows into crypto, with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs attracting $5.5 billion since April 2025. Tether is taking this opportunity to expand its reach, especially as rivals like Circle's USDC are also increasing their reserves.

For Tether, its $127 billion in Treasury bonds and $5.47 billion in excess reserves ensure liquidity, allowing the company to meet the demand for USDT issuance and expand into new markets. The $4.9 billion profit for the quarter, along with $5.7 billion year-to-date, was reinvested into projects in the US, such as plans to build an optimized product suite (stablecoins and more), expected to launch in Q3 2025. This not only strengthens the infrastructure but also solidifies Tether's position as a global "digital bank". In terms of the market, Tether's growth with a $100 billion gap compared to USDC ($64 billion) strengthens confidence in USDT, supports a stable value at $1 and reduces selling pressure. This also promotes adoption from financial institutions, especially as the GENIUS Act facilitates real-world applications. However, Tether's dominance could overshadow other stablecoins, affecting competition in the industry.

Conclude

For Tether, the Q2 2025 report and new plans in the US open up opportunities for the company to lead the stablecoin market, with the potential to reach $200 billion in supply by the end of 2025. The new product, combining stablecoins with advanced financial services, could strengthen Tether's position in payments and DeFi, especially in the US - a highly efficient market.
