Tether Overtakes Germany in US Treasury Holdings

Tether has climbed past Germany in U.S. Treasury bill ownership. The stablecoin issuer now controls over $120 billion in Treasurys. This shift makes Tether the 19th largest holder globally.
Germany, in comparison, holds $111.4 billion in U.S. Treasurys. That’s according to March 2025 data from the U.S. Treasury Department, reported by Cointelegraph.
Tether’s massive rise isn’t luck. It reflects a smart, diversified reserve strategy. By spreading risk across safe assets like T-bills, the company shields itself from crypto market chaos.
Stable income from Treasurys helps Tether stay liquid and resilient. This financial buffer builds trust in USDT, especially during crypto downturns.

Crypto Meets Traditional Finance
Tether’s position now rivals major economies. It’s no longer just a crypto company. With billions in government debt, it operates like a global financial institution.
This milestone also signals deeper links between crypto and traditional finance. As Tether rises, expect more crossover between digital assets and old-world money systems.
