Tether's productivity output is indeed astonishing—$13 billion profit in 2024, with only 80 people, averaging $162.5 million profit per employee. This level of productivity is indeed at the world’s top, but whether it is 'the world's number one' still needs to be compared with other companies with extremely high productivity. Here are some comparisons:

1. Tether (USDT issuer)

• Employees: about 80 people

• Profit: approximately $13 billion

• Profit per capita: $162.5 million/person

2. Other companies that may have even higher productivity outputs

A. OpenAI (rumored to have a profit of $1.5 billion by the end of 2023, with about 770 people)

• Profit per capita: approximately $1.94 million/person

• Although OpenAI also has extremely high productivity, it is still quite far behind Tether.

B. Visa (profit of $19.1 billion in 2023, with about 28,800 employees)

• Profit per capita: approximately $660,000/person

• As a global payment giant, profit per capita is high but far below Tether.

C. Goldman Sachs (profit of $8.7 billion in 2023, with about 45,000 employees)

• Profit per capita: approximately $190,000/person

• Traditional banks lag behind Tether in terms of productivity.

D. Apple (profit of $97.4 billion in 2023, with 161,000 employees)

• Profit per capita: approximately $600,000/person

• As one of the highest profit companies globally, Apple still falls short of Tether in profit per capita.

Blockchain vs Traditional Enterprises

Tether's productivity per capita is high, mainly attributed to:

1. Low operational costs of digital currency: no large number of traditional bank branches, tellers, auditors, and other labor costs.

2. Smart contracts and automation: Blockchain technology greatly improves efficiency, with many transactions and asset management being executed by smart contracts.

3. High-profit business model: Tether mainly relies on interest-free issuance of USDT + interest income, with asset scale reaching $90 billion, and can earn huge profits just by investing in government bonds.

Overall, Tether's productivity output may be the highest in the world; at least among publicly available data companies, no higher figures can be found. If there are figures higher than $162.5 million/person, they can only be from some highly automated financial institutions or very small companies with extremely high profits.

Do you think it is possible for companies with higher productivity than Tether to emerge in the future?
