Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated in a post on the X platform that, according to the latest ascertainment report for the third quarter of this year, Tether holds billions of dollars in excess reserve buffers, bringing its total assets to approximately $215 billion, while its stablecoin liabilities are approximately $184.5 billion.

Furthermore, S&P's mistake lies in failing to consider that Tether's holdings of US Treasury bonds alone generate approximately $500 million in profit per month, and that they may intentionally do so to support Tether's competitors.

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 group equity close to $30.00 billion.

As of the end of Q3 2025, Tether has approximately $7.00 billion in excess equity (plus approximately $184.50 billion in stablecoin reserves) and approximately $23.00 billion in retained earnings.

"S&P made the same mistake, not considering the additional group equity, nor considering the approximately $500.00 million in basic profit generated monthly from US Treasury yields alone. Some influencers are either bad at math or motivated to promote our competitors. Always trust ourselves."

Tether Responds to FUD: Q3 Has Approximately $7.00B in Excess Equity, Group Equity Nears $30.00B

In response to questions about Tether's reserves and stability, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that, according to Tether's latest Q3 2025 audit announcement, the company maintains billions of dollars in excess reserves, with group equity approaching $30.00 billion.

As of the end of the quarter, Tether had approximately $7.00 billion in excess equity, approximately $184.50 billion in stablecoin reserves, and approximately $23.00 billion in group retained earnings, with total group assets of approximately $215.00 billion and stablecoin liabilities of approximately $184.50 billion.

He pointed out that outsiders (including S&P) have ignored these group equities, as well as the fact that Tether can generate approximately $500.00 million in basic profit per month from US Treasury yields alone, leading to misunderstandings about its financial situation.

Paolo Ardoino responds to reserve concerns, saying S&P ignores Tether group equity and US Treasury收益.

On November 30, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino responded to "FUD about Tether," stating: According to the latest announcement (Q3 2025), Tether will continue to maintain a multi-billion-dollar excess reserve buffer, with total group equity approaching $30.00 billion.

As of the end of Q3 2025, Tether held approximately $7.00 billion in excess equity (on top of its ~$184.50 billion in stablecoin reserves) and around $23.00 billion in retained earnings as part of Tether Group's equity.

Tether Group's total assets are approximately $215.00 billion, with stablecoin liabilities of about $184.50 billion. S&P made the same mistake in its analysis: it did not account for the additional group equity, nor did it consider the base monthly profit of approximately $500 million generated solely from U.S. Treasury yields.

Tether CEO refutes doubts: The group has nearly $30.00B in equity and $7.00B in excess reserves.

Tether CEO: S&P may be targeting Tether; currently holding US Treasury bonds generates approximately $500 million in monthly income.

On November 30, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino responded to "About Tether FUD" by saying, "According to the latest announcement (Q3 2025): Tether will continue to maintain a multi-billion dollar excess reserve buffer, with total group equity close to $30.00B. As of the end of Q3 2025, Tether has approximately $7.00B in excess equity (on top of approximately $184.50B in stablecoin reserves) and approximately $23.00B in retained earnings as part of Tether group equity.

The Tether Group has total assets of approximately $215.00B and stablecoin liabilities of approximately $184.50B. S&P made the same mistake in its analysis: it did not consider the additional group equity, nor did it consider the approximately $500.00M in monthly base profit that could be generated from US Treasury yields alone."

Previously reported, S&P Global Ratings lowered Tether's USDT stability rating from "Limited" to "Weak" and warned that a decline in Bitcoin prices could lead to the stablecoin being undercollateralized. S&P said the assessment "reflects the increase in exposure to high-risk assets in USDT reserves over the past year," including Bitcoin, gold, secured loans and corporate bonds, while also considering the limited disclosure of information.

In addition, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes posted that the Tether team is in the early stages of conducting a large-scale interest rate trade. My interpretation of the Tether reserve audit report is that they believe the Fed will cut interest rates, which will severely hit their interest income. In response, Tether is buying gold and BTC, and if the "gold + BTC position" falls by about 30%, it will wipe out their equity capital, and then USDT will theoretically be insolvent.

Tether 首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 在 X 平台上的一篇文章中表示，根据今年第三季度的最新确定报告，Tether 持有数十亿美元的超额储备缓冲，使其总资产达到约 2150 亿美元，而其稳定币负债约为 1845.0 亿美元。

此外，标准普尔的错误在于未能考虑到 Tether 仅持有美国国债，每月就能产生约 5.00 亿美元的利润，并且他们可能会故意这样做以支持 Tether 的竞争对手。

Tether 首席执行官：标普可能正在针对 Tether；目前持有美国国债每月产生约 5.00 亿美元的收入。

Tether 的 CEO Paolo Ardoino 在 X 平台上的一篇文章中表示，根據今年第三季度的最新確定報告，Tether 持有數十億美元的超額儲備緩衝，使其總資產達到約 2,150 億美元，而其穩定幣負債約為 1,845 億美元。

此外，S&P 的錯誤在於未能考慮到僅 Tether 持有的美國國債每月就產生約 5 億美元的利潤，並且他們可能有意這樣做以支持 Tether 的競爭對手。
