Tether Completes First Full Financial Audit of 2025 Accounts
KPMG said Tether’s statements fairly presented its finances, and the company reported $6.814 billion in reserves above liabilities.
- Tether completed the first full independent audit of its 2025 financial statements on Dec. 31, 2025, with KPMG issuing a clean opinion on the company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flows.
- With a roughly $183 billion market capitalization, Tether accounts for about 61% of the $301 billion stablecoin market, more than twice the roughly $72 billion held by Circle's USDC.
- KPMG physically inspected and counted Tether's gold holdings, verifying each bar rather than relying on custodian records; audited statements showed reserves exceeded liabilities by $6.814 billion.
- Expanding beyond stablecoins, the company invested $20 million each in Argentine neobank Ual and Brazilian crypto platform Mercado Bitcoin this year, while Tether Gold reserves rose 9.5% in the second quarter.
- Despite Tether's growth, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has shown little interest in a Tether IPO, as the issuer generated more than $10 billion in net profit in 2025 and $1.5 billion in second-quarter operating profit from Treasury holdings.
