ChainCatcher news, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino posted a response to FUD, citing the Q3 2025 attestation announcement: Tether will maintain a multi-billion dollar excess reserve buffer, with the group’s own equity approaching $30 billion.
As of the end of Q3 2025, Tether holds approximately $7 billion in excess equity (in addition to about $184.5 billion in stablecoin reserves) and about $23 billion in retained earnings. “S&P made the same mistake by not considering the group’s additional equity, nor the basic profit of about $500 million generated monthly solely from US Treasury yields. Some influencers either have poor math skills or are motivated to support our competitors. Always trust ourselves.”
