【USDT is increasingly resembling a “private central bank” 😂】 Tether released its 2026 Q1 financial report: net profit of $1.04 billion, excess reserves surged to a new high of $8.23 billion, and it currently holds $141 billion worth of U.S. Treasury bonds. In addition, the reserves also include: 🥇 $20 billion in gold + ₿$7 billion in BTC. Tether is no longer just issuing stablecoins; it’s more like: 💵 printing USDT while 📈 lying back and cashing in on government bond interest, 😂 and casually stockpiling gold and Bitcoin. The most outrageous part is that it has now become the world’s 17th largest holder of U.S. Treasury bonds—many countries buy less than it does. Netizens joked: In the past, everyone was worried whether USDT would crash; now it feels like Tether has nearly evolved into a “private Federal Reserve.”
