Tether Reports Net Profit in Q4 2022

Stablecoin issuer Tether published its latest attestation report on Thursday, February 9th, revealing a net profit of $700 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. This is despite the ongoing bear market and is added to the company’s reserves. The December report was attested by accounting firm BDO and revealed that Tether’s consolidated assets exceeded its liabilities as of Dec. 31, 2022. Furthermore, consolidated total assets amounted to at least $67.04 billion while total liabilities amounted to $66.08 billion, thus reflecting excess reserves of at least $960 million.

Part Of Shareholder Equity

The reported profit is part of shareholder equity according to Tether which essentially means it’s additional capital sitting in the company to further strengthen it. This is also the first time that stablecoin issuer has disclosed such figures without revealing how it made any profits from them.
