The company\u2019s attestation reveals gold and Bitcoin reserves valued at $12.9 billion and $9.9 billion, respectively. Together, this $22.8 billion allocation represents approximately 13% of Tether\u2019s total reserves.<\/p>\n<p>These assets sit alongside a reserve base exceeding $181 billion, with liabilities amounting to $174.4 billion, most of which relate directly to USDT tokens in circulation. The surplus, standing at nearly $6.8 billion, reinforces Tether\u2019s claim of maintaining one of the strongest buffers in the digital asset space.<\/p>\n<p>This financial heft was recently tested and demonstrated in its handling of the Celsius litigation. In October, Tether finalized the settlement using its proprietary investment capital, a crucial distinction that meant the multi-billion-dollar payout did not draw from the reserves backing the USDT tokens in circulation.<\/p>\n<p>Concurrently, Tether is leveraging its profitability to reshape its own corporate structure. The company said it has launched a share buyback initiative, a move typically associated with mature, cash-rich public companies seeking to consolidate ownership and return value.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tether now ranks as a top 20 global holder of U.S. debt, a sovereign-scale position that anchors its $10 billion year-to-date profit and cements its systemic role in modern finance.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14913"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14913\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14915,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14913\/revisions\/14915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
