<p>Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin, continues its skyward ascent, reporting an impressive Q2 2023. Assets soared by 5.7% to a record-breaking $86.5 billion, and operational profits surged by 30% to over $1 billion from the previous quarter.</p>

<p>Significantly contributing to Tether’s financial muscle is its strategic investment in U.S. Treasury Bills, now totaling $55.8 billion, outpacing even Spain’s holdings. Notably, this figure surpasses the U.S. treasury holdings of Australia, UAE, and even Spain. According to crypto analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/milesdeutscher/status/1686656329601970176" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Miles Deutscher</a>, Tether’s impressive operational profits rival those of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager.</p> 
<p>The company’s Q2 also saw a notable increase in its Bitcoin reserve, with an additional purchase of 2,310 Bitcoins amounting to $70 million. This move has seen Tether’s Bitcoin stacks climb from 52,698 in Q1 to 55,008 in Q2, now valued at $1.67 billion.</p> 
<p>However, despite its announcement earlier this year to invest 15% of profits in Bitcoin, data indicates that the company has only allocated 7% so far.</p>

<p>Tether is demonstrating remarkable financial resilience with its excess reserves, totalling $3.3 billion at the end of Q2. This decision to hold back a significant portion of its profits, over and above the 100% reserve necessary to back its issued tokens, adds a layer of security and resilience to its stablecoin products.</p> 
<p>Paolo Ardoino, CTO of Tether, <a href="https://twitter.com/paoloardoino/status/1685993811774738432" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">revealed</a> the company’s investments in energy-related initiatives funded from Q2 profits, a move seen as a key step in pushing the boundaries of technological innovation. These investments are not included in the Consolidated Reserves Report as they are not considered as eligible reserves for circulating tokens.</p>
