Tether’s revenues come from investing fiat currencies it receives from issuing its USDT stablecoin into various financial assets, such as T-bills and precious metals. According to the report, Tether’s ownership of US Treasurys in Q2 reached an all-time high of $97.6 billion.

Tether reported that its stablecoin reserves, as of June 30, 2024, amount to $118,436,336,293. That sum exceeds the then-issued USDT of $113 billion, making USDT fully backed and over-collateralized by about $5.3 billion.

The report also claims that over $8.3 billion in USDT was issued in the second quarter. Within the same timeframe of April to the end of June, Tether’s main stablecoin competitor — USDC — dropped by $0.8 billion while DAI has dropped by $0.1 billion, according to Artemis data.
