This is an original Kriptometre brief synthesising 4 outlets (CoinEdition, Bitcoin.com, Crypto.news, and others), with their figures cross-checked, plus live market data, as of Fri, 30 Oct 2026 23:07:02 UTC.
The substantial increase in Tether's excess reserves and profits enhances the stability of USDT, the largest stablecoin by market cap, which is crucial for the broader crypto market's liquidity and trust. This development also underscores Tether's ability to navigate regulatory challenges and maintain its market dominance.
- Tether's Q3 net operating profit reached $1.5 billion.
- Excess reserves grew to nearly $8 billion, doubling from Q2.
- Total reserve assets now stand at $191.45 billion.
- USDT circulating supply remains at $180.17 billion.
All four outlets - CoinEdition, Bitcoin.com, Crypto.news, and Cointelegraph - agree that Tether's Q3 net operating profit was $1.5 billion and that its excess reserves nearly doubled to approximately $8 billion by the end of September. They also concur that the total reserve assets were reported at $191.45 billion. However, Cointelegraph provides the additional detail about Tether's US Treasury holdings being comparable to major foreign holders and specifies that Bitcoin reserves were valued at $8.37 billion at the end of September.
Tether, the company behind the largest stablecoin USDT, has announced a significant increase in its net operating profit and excess reserves for the third quarter of 2026. The company reported a net operating profit of $1.5 billion for the quarter, bringing its year-to-date total to $4.5 billion, according to its latest financial attestation.
The company's excess reserves, which serve as a financial buffer for USDT, nearly doubled from the previous quarter, reaching $7.95 billion by September 30. This growth in excess reserves is a positive sign for the stability of USDT, as it indicates a stronger financial position and increased capacity to handle potential market volatility.
The figures were corroborated by multiple outlets, including CoinEdition, 
Bitcoin.com, Crypto.news, and Cointelegraph. These outlets also reported that Tether's total reserve assets were $191.45 billion as of the end of September. Cointelegraph provided additional insight, noting that Tether's US Treasury holdings are comparable to those of major foreign holders and that its Bitcoin reserves were valued at $8.37 billion at the end of September.

USDT's circulating supply remains robust at $180.17 billion, according to DeFiLlama.
