Tether reports a profit of one billion dollars in the quarter as USDT reserves reach an all-time high

📌 Tether reported a net profit of approximately $1.04 billion for the first quarter of 2026, despite significant volatility in the cryptocurrency market. The key point is that its surplus reserve increased to $8.23 billion, the highest level ever and well above the level at the end of 2025.
💡 Its balance sheet continued to expand, with total assets around $191.77 billion and liabilities, mostly related to USDT, approximately $183.5 billion. This shows that USDT still plays a central liquidity role in the stablecoin market.
🔎 The reserve structure remains heavily tilted toward U.S. Treasury bonds, with direct and indirect exposure totaling around $141 billion. Tether also holds about $20 billion in physical gold and $7 billion in Bitcoin, reflecting a broader diversification of reserve assets.
⚠ The main point to watch is that the full audit process only began this quarter and has not yet been completed. In the short term, this report may not lead to immediate market movement, but it could boost confidence in USDT if demand for stablecoins remains steady.
