Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, USDT, has committed nearly $5 billion in profits to investments within the United States over the past two years. CEO Paolo Ardoino, in a recent post on X, described this initiative as a “pro-America” strategy aimed at boosting domestic innovation. The investment portfolio includes stakes in companies like Rumble, BlackRock Neurotech, and various Bitcoin mining ventures.
In the last 2 years Tether Group reinvested almost 5 billion USD of its profits within the United States economy and into US based companies.

Most notably, Tether acquired over 103 million Class A shares in video platform Rumble earlier this year, representing a $775 million investment. Additionally, Tether Evo, the company’s venture arm, injected $200 million into brain-interface pioneer BlackRock Neurotech in 2024, becoming its majority stakeholder.
Tether has quickly become one of the most important pro-America companies in the world.

Massive Treasury Holdings Cement Tether’s U.S. Financial Ties
Tether’s financial commitment to the U.S. extends beyond venture capital. The company holds more than $120 billion in U.S. Treasury securities, surpassing even Germany’s holdings, according to the U.S. Treasury Department. This portfolio—comprising direct Treasury purchases, money market funds, and reverse repurchase agreements—positions Tether as the 19th-largest global holder of U.S. Treasury bills. A significant portion of these assets is managed through Cantor Fitzgerald, a leading American financial firm. These reserves are crucial for maintaining USDT’s 1:1 dollar peg, ensuring stability and market trust.

USDT Dominates Market, Despite Calls for Greater Transparency
USDT continues to dominate the stablecoin sector in 2025, recording a staggering $2.09 trillion in transaction volume—well ahead of USDC’s $1.30 trillion, per Visa’s on-chain analytics. The company also recently issued another $1 billion worth of USDT on the Tron blockchain.
Despite its strong performance, Tether faces ongoing scrutiny over its reserve disclosures and has been criticized for its potential role in illicit transactions. Nonetheless, the company asserts its proactive cooperation with law enforcement agencies, underlining its effort to meet compliance standards as regulatory pressures mount.
Tether’s aggressive investment and financial strategy underline a firm commitment to the U.S. economy, positioning it as a key player not just in crypto, but also in broader American financial and technological ecosystems.
