Share

Stablecoin issuer Tether has revealed its remarkable results for the last quarter of 2023 in a financial disclosure that echoes prosperity. The company’s historic high of $2.80 billion in net profit is highlighted in the most recent attestation report.

The influx of $1 billion from US Treasuries, which constituted a sizeable chunk of the net operational income, was the main driver behind Tether’s astounding gains. The appreciation of the company’s broad portfolio, which included reserves of Bitcoin and gold, was the source of the remaining earnings.

The policy of diversification had remarkable outcomes, as surplus reserves experienced an unparalleled increase of $2.2 billion, ultimately reaching a total of $5.4 billion. Interestingly, an extra $640 million was carefully allocated to a number of initiatives, including P2P telephony, mining, and AI infrastructure, all of which were protected by a separate venture capital fund.

A Stellar Year-End Performance

Tether’s total net profit in 2023 skyrocketed to an astounding $6.2 billion. A sizeable amount, around $4 billion, came from net operating income from money market funds, reverse repo, and US Treasury securities. The rest was explained by other asset classes’ outstanding performance, which highlighted Tether’s strong financial portfolio.

Positive returns were seen in every asset class, with gold, bitcoin, and diversified assets seeing the biggest gains. Tether’s direct and indirect ownership of US Treasuries reached previously unheard-of levels, representing a sizeable $80.3 billion exposure.
