  • Tether holds $127B in US Treasuries and over 100,000 BTC.
  • Potential to manage trillions if emerging markets adopt USDT.
  • Diversifying into AI, energy, and commodity markets strengthens growth.

Tether (USDT), the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, is quietly making history. With its explosive growth and expanding influence in global markets, some experts now suggest Tether could surpass Saudi Aramco in profitability, potentially becoming the most profitable company ever.

Financial Strength and Global Reach

Tether’s financial foundation is formidable. As of Q2 2025, the company holds $127 billion in US Treasury bonds, placing it among the top 20 global holders alongside nations like Germany and the UAE. With just under 200 employees, Tether is projected to generate around $13 billion this year while holding over 100,000 BTC valued at $11.4 billion.

The company’s 400 million users worldwide and 35 million quarterly wallet additions highlight its growing footprint, particularly in developing countries. According to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, widespread USDT adoption in emerging markets could lead Tether to manage trillions in assets, potentially surpassing Saudi Aramco’s 2024 profit record of $120 billion.

Diversification Beyond Stablecoins

Tether isn’t confined to stablecoins. The company has diversified into AI, data centers, energy infrastructure, telecommunications, and Bitcoin mining. These moves strengthen its position as a multi-industry player, with CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasizing that expansion into artificial intelligence, commodity trading, energy, and communications will continue to drive growth.

Tether is also exploring a fundraising round of $15–20 billion for a 3% stake, potentially valuing the company at $500 billion. If successful, this would place Tether alongside private powerhouses like SpaceX and OpenAI.

Strategic Moves in Bitcoin and US Markets

Tether recently made headlines with a $1 billion BTC purchase, acquiring 8,888.889 Bitcoin. BTC currently trades around $113,000, though market movement has been minimal this past week. Meanwhile, Tether is leveraging political momentum, including pro-crypto stances from former US President Donald Trump, to strengthen its presence in the US market.

With its robust balance sheet, global adoption, and multi-sector diversification, Tether is more than just a stablecoin issuer—it’s a potential financial giant redefining profit records. Its trajectory signals that traditional benchmarks, like Saudi Aramco, may no longer be the ultimate measure of corporate success.
