Tether claims a $700 million profit, report has no mention of it

Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino claimed in a recent Twitter thread that the firm had a net profit of $700 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. However, the attestation report by BDO, which examined the firm’s reserves as of 31 December 2022, had no mention of the profit. Furthermore, the firm failed to specify how the nine-figure profit was realized.&

After a tumultuous end to 2022, Tether has once again proven its stability, its resilience, and its ability to handle bear markets and black swan events, setting itself apart from the bad actors of the industry.”&

BDO’s report also revealed that Tether had brought down its exposure to commercial paper to zero. The USDT issuer had eliminated commercial paper from its reserves, in line with its commitment to get rid of its commercial paper holdings by the end of 2022, given that it was less stable than other debt instruments like U.S Treasury Bonds. At $39.2 billion, U.S Treasury Bills accounted for Tether’s largest holding. Cash and Bank Deposits increased by $271 million compared to the third quarter of 2022. Assets held in corporate bonds, futures, and precious metals went up by $250 million over the same period.&
