Tether CEO Unveils 2025 Strategy: $13.7B Profit Target and Global Bitcoin Mining Expansion

• Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino expects profits to exceed last year’s $13.7 billion record and plans to become the world’s largest Bitcoin miner by year-end.

• The company is preparing for USDT compliance with the proposed GENIUS Act and holds over $125 billion in U.S. Treasuries through strategic partnerships.

• Tether operates 100+ companies and serves 450 million users while expanding into commodity trading and AI investments across multiple sectors.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has revealed the company’s comprehensive roadmap for 2025, targeting profits exceeding last year’s record $13.7 billion while positioning the firm as the world’s largest Bitcoin mining operation. The stablecoin giant plans to expand USDT adoption globally and strengthen its U.S. Treasury holdings.

Speaking on the Bankless podcast, Ardoino outlined Tether’s strategic priorities for the coming year. The company will continue building financial infrastructure outside the United States while reinforcing the U.S. dollar’s global dominance through substantial Treasury investments.

USDT Compliance with New U.S. Regulations

Tether is preparing to align its flagship stablecoin with the proposed GENIUS Act, which recently passed the Senate and awaits House approval. The legislation establishes new regulatory frameworks for both domestic and foreign stablecoin issuers.

Ardoino confirmed that Tether would pursue one of two compliance pathways under the Act. The company can demonstrate its current operations meet U.S. standards or launch a completely new U.S.-compliant stablecoin. Tether is preparing to satisfy all reserve requirements, disclosure mandates, and anti-money laundering protocols outlined in the proposed legislation.

The CEO emphasized Tether’s position as a major U.S. debt purchaser, holding over $125 billion in U.S. Treasuries through Cantor Fitzgerald. The company maintains $6 billion in excess reserves, with total equity reaching $176 billion.

Bitcoin Mining and Diversification Strategy

Tether’s expansion extends beyond stablecoins into commodity trading, artificial intelligence, and Bitcoin mining. Ardoino revealed plans to establish the world’s largest Bitcoin mining operation by year-end, with facilities across South America and the United States.

The mining initiative aligns with Tether’s long-term Bitcoin strategy, as the company holds over 100,000 BTC. Ardoino stated that maintaining network security supports their extensive Bitcoin holdings and overall cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Due to traditional banking inefficiencies, major commodity traders increasingly adopt USDT for cross-border payments. This trend supports Tether’s commodity sector expansion plans.

The company has invested over $5 billion in U.S.-based ventures and operates a portfolio exceeding 100 companies. These investments span renewable energy, telecommunications infrastructure, and peer-to-peer AI platforms.

Tether’s stablecoin network serves 450 million users, adding 30 million wallets quarterly. The platform maintains a strong community presence across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, driving continued global adoption.
