Tether, the issuer of the popular $USDT stablecoin, has solidified its position as a significant player in the U.S. Treasury market. As the seventh-largest purchaser of government-backed securities in 2024, Tether acquired $33.1 billion in U.S. Treasuries, surpassing the holdings of countries such as Canada, Taiwan, and Mexico. This strategic move is crucial for Tether, as U.S. Treasuries are a cornerstone of its reserve strategy, providing stability for the USDT stablecoin. The company’s total holdings of U.S. Treasuries now total $94 billion, reflecting Tether’s growing influence in the global financial system. This development highlights the importance of stablecoins in the financial landscape and demonstrates how Tether is leveraging the safety and liquidity of U.S. Treasuries to maintain its position as a leading stablecoin issuer.
