Tether, the company behind the world’s most widely used stablecoin USD₮, has once again reinforced its rising influence in global finance. The company’s Q1 2025 attestation report, conducted by independent audit firm BDO, reveals that Tether's exposure to U.S. Treasury securities has reached a record $120 billion—and that’s not the only headline-grabbing number.
🔹 Over $1 Billion in Profit, Billions in Surplus
During Q1, Tether reported more than $1 billion in operating profit from traditional investments. The company now holds $5.6 billion in excess reserves. Total assets surpassed $149.27 billion, while liabilities amounted to $143.68 billion, with $143.67 billion linked to issued digital tokens—confirming a healthy surplus and strong risk management.
🔹 Growing Trust: More Wallets, More Tokens
USD₮’s circulating supply grew by $7 billion during the quarter, and the number of active wallets increased by 46 million. This signals a growing user confidence in Tether’s transparency, stability, and real-world utility.
“We remain focused on delivering trust, transparency, and value to hundreds of millions of users around the world. Our mission is clear: to responsibly and compliantly strengthen the digital economy and the role of the U.S. dollar on a global scale,”
— Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether
🔹 Tether Steps Into the Real World: Acquires Majority Stake in Adecoagro
Tether isn’t stopping at digital finance. On April 30, the company announced a major acquisition: it secured a 70% controlling stake in Adecoagro, a leading player in sustainable agriculture, energy, and infrastructure across Latin America.
The partnership began in September 2024, when Tether invested $100 million for a 9.8% stake. Now, it's expanding further into real-world assets (RWA), aiming to promote economic freedom and long-term resilience in emerging markets.
“Our goal is to build sustainable infrastructure in historically underserved regions. Adecoagro represents a step toward real change,”
— Paolo Ardoino
🔹 A New Era for Adecoagro
According to newly appointed board chairman Juan Sartori, the partnership with Tether has opened the door to a new era of opportunity. The company plans to expand its impact in sustainable agriculture and energy, improve capital discipline, and unlock long-term value across Latin America.
Sartori also emphasized that this acquisition follows several of Tether’s recent initiatives—including investments in bitcoin mining, AI infrastructure, and peer-to-peer communications—as the firm continues to assert itself as a key player bridging the digital and physical economies.
🧩 Summary:
Tether is emerging not only as the king of stablecoins but also as a powerful global investor. With record U.S. Treasury holdings and rising profits, it’s now expanding into real-world infrastructure—extending its reach far beyond the crypto market.
