A cryptocurrency company that owns more U.S. Treasuries than Germany and South Korea, and generates annual profits in excess of $15 billion, all managed by just 200 employees.



Tether is not a century-old traditional bank, but the source of $USDT stablecoin.

"A great economic power"

$USDT مجرد no longer a "stablecoin" for traders, it has become a global store of value. Here are the numbers:

Huge assets: The company manages $187 billion in assets.

Solid Reserves: In early January 2026, the company boosted its balance by buying 8,888 BTC (بقيمة 790 million دولار).

Record profits: Its profits exceeded $15 billion in 2025, figures that the big "Wall Street" banks dream of.

The bottom line: Tether profits from interest on its huge reserves, but it doesn't distribute those benefits to users, it reinvests them.

"Popular Dollar"
Why do people trust Tether even though U.S. citizens are banned from using it? In countries like Argentina and Nigeria, where inflation is eating away at savings, $USDT هي has become the "people's dollar." It is the fastest and cheapest way to hold value away from the constraints of central banks.

"Where does the money go?"

CEO Paolo Arduino is leading a radical transformation; he wants Tether not just to be a financial company, but "the infrastructure of life."

Here's a map of their recent investments:

Artificial Intelligence: $1 billion in Neura Robotics to make human robots for factories.

Free Media: $775 million in Rumble (المنافس powerful platform for YouTube).

Food and energy: Acquisition of 70% of Adecoagro, a major agricultural company in Latin America.

Space: Buying bonds in satellite data company Satellogic.

"Competence that embarrasses everyone"

While global banks employ hundreds of thousands, Tether runs this empire with only 200 employees. This means that the profitability per employee on Tether may be the highest in the history of registered companies.

The bottom line:

Tether is no longer just a "digital token," but a geopolitical player with food, satellites, artificial intelligence, and cash that outshines entire nations.

Do you see the dominance of Tether, as becoming too powerful for a private company...
