Tether Holdings Limited (BVI) has reported a massive net profit of $4.52 billion for the first quarter of 2024. This impressive growth is attributed to increased profits from US Treasury holdings and gains in Bitcoin and Gold positions.

The company has expanded its transparency efforts by providing a broad overview of its financial strengths, revealing a net equity of $11.37 billion as of March 31, 2024. Tether also disclosed a $1 billion increase in excess reserves, totaling nearly $6.3 billion, further enhancing its stability.
