Tether has reported $2.6 billion in profit from its Bitcoin and gold reserves for the first half of 2025. The gains come amid broader revenue growth as the company issued $13.4 billion worth of USDT in Q2 alone.
Tether Reports Strong Profit from Bitcoin and Gold Holdings
Tether released its Q2 2025 attestation report on July 31, audited by BDO, a global accounting firm. The report showed a net profit of $4.9 billion for the quarter. In total, Tether earned $5.7 billion in profit during the first six months of the year.
Bitcoin and gold holdings contributed $2.6 billion of the total profit. Arkham data showed that Tether holds 77,780 BTC, valued at approximately $9.23 billion. The company also holds 7.66 tons of gold, stored in Switzerland, supporting its reserve transparency.
Bitcoin has surged 26.85% in 2025, reaching a new all-time high of over $123,000. Gold also saw gains of 16% this year, making both assets strong contributors to Tether’s profitability.
Tether’s circulating supply of USDT rose to 157 billion in Q2. The company remains one of the top holders of U.S. Treasury securities, now totaling $127 billion.
Strategic Investments Support Long-Term Growth
Tether is reinvesting its earnings into infrastructure and strategic crypto projects. CEO Paolo Ardoino confirmed this direction, citing initiatives such as its stake in Twenty One Capital. The firm has pledged to provide an additional 5,800 BTC to support the entity’s treasury.
Tether also backed Rumble, a platform with a wallet feature under development. These ventures align with Tether’s focus on long-term scalability and product diversification.
In May, the firm revealed plans to develop “Tether AI.” This tool aims to enhance Bitcoin use cases by applying artificial intelligence to optimize digital finance workflows.

These investments show how Tether is working to expand its influence beyond stablecoins. The company is integrating new technologies while keeping its focus on Bitcoin and decentralized infrastructure.
USDT Supply and U.S. Market Plans Continue to Grow
In Q2, Tether issued $13.4 billion worth of USDT, bringing the 2025 total to $20 billion. The stablecoin is soaring in proportionality to the increasing number of people seeking dollar-backed tokens.
The company has also headed to the redemption of its commitment to U.S. regulatory compliance. It intends to launch a stablecoin targeting the United States of America under the Genius Act. This will help in enhancing the clarity of regulations concerning the issuance of stablecoins in the domestic market.
Tether remains the top in terms of generating profits, revealing its reserves, and establishing a foothold in other strategic blockchain initiatives.
