Tether Holdings Limited’s latest Assurance Report for the first quarter of 2023, completed by independent public accounting firm BDO Italia, revealed an all-time excess reserve hike of $2.44 billion, up $1.48 billion from the previous quarter.
The achievement reaffirms the accuracy of the Tether Consolidated Reserves Report (CRR) as of March 31, 2023, which breaks down the assets held by the group and includes new categories such as physical gold, overnight buybacks, corporate bonds, and bitcoin ownership.

The report also highlights Tether’s investment strategy, which shows that the majority of its reserves are invested in US Treasury bills, reflecting the company’s efforts to reduce its dependence on purely bank deposits as a source of liquidity.
The report highlights a 25% decrease in secured loans and an increase in assets allocated to US Treasury bonds, while gold and bitcoin make up about 4% and 2% of total reserves, respectively. All issues of new tokens were invested in US Treasury securities or placed into overnight repurchase agreements.
