According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, USDT held over $127 billion in US Treasury bills as of the second quarter. This substantial backing provides increased confidence in USDT's stability and security. Holding a significant portion of its reserves in highly liquid and low-risk assets like US Treasury bills aims to ensure that USDT can maintain its peg to the US dollar even during periods of market volatility.
