This year, Tether launched a new token in the U.S. market and intensified lobbying efforts in Washington. At the same time, Tether is attracting investors worldwide, aiming to establish the company’s valuation at $500 billion, making it one of the highest-valued private companies globally.

Tether disclosed that last year’s profits exceeded $10 billion and that it currently holds about $122 billion in U.S. Treasuries, making it the 17th largest holder of U.S. debt worldwide.

Additionally, Tether is promoting its compliant token USAT in the U.S. market and has undertaken over 140 investments in fields such as artificial intelligence, energy, and brain-computer interfaces.
