BlockBeats News, November 30th, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino responded to the “Tether FUD” in a post, stating, “According to the latest announcement (Q3 2025): Tether will continue to maintain a buffer of several billion US dollars in excess reserves, with the overall group’s equity approaching $30 billion.”
As of the end of Q3 2025, Tether holds around $7 billion in excess equity (on top of the roughly $184.5 billion stablecoin reserves) and around $23 billion in retained earnings as part of the Tether Group’s equity.
The Tether Group’s total assets are around $215 billion, with stablecoin liabilities of about $184.5 billion. Standard & Poor’s made the same mistake in their analysis: they did not consider additional group equity, nor did they consider the monthly base profit of around $500 million that can be generated from US Treasury bond yields alone.”
