Tether has received considerable scrutiny over the years for the perceived opaqueness of its reserves. A recent class-action lawsuit against the company alleges that Tether executives misled investors by falsely claiming its stablecoin was fully backed by cash and cash equivalents at all times.

多年來，Tether 因其儲備的不透明性而受到嚴格審查。最近針對該公司的一項集體訴訟稱，Tether 高層誤導投資者，錯誤地聲稱其穩定幣始終得到現金和現金等價物的充分支持。

The company has shifted its reserves toward digital assets and other "progressive" instruments, with its cash and cash equivalent reserves now down to 22.2% of the total. This compares with digital asset holdings, which now stand at 51.1% of the company's total reserves.

該公司已將其儲備轉向數位資產和其他「進步」工具，其現金和現金等價物儲備目前已降至總額的22.2%。相比之下，數位資產持有量目前佔該公司總儲備的 51.1%。

Howard Lutnick, chairman and CEO of the Wall Street investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald that manages a part of Tether's assets, said in a statement that the company's "record" profits were driven by its "unwavering commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance."

管理Tether 部分資產的華爾街投資銀行Cantor Fitzgerald 董事長兼首席執行官霍華德·盧特尼克(Howard Lutnick) 在一份聲明中表示，該公司「創紀錄」的利潤是由其「對透明度和監管合規性的堅定承諾」所推動的。

"We are pleased to announce that Tether's reserves now exceed $118 billion, with over $97 billion in U.S. debt holdings alone,” Lutnick said. “This places Tether among the top 18 countries in the world in terms of debt holdings, surpassing Germany, the United Arab Emirates and Australia.”

Lutnick 表示：「我們很高興地宣布，Tether 的儲備現已超過1,180 億美元，其中僅美國債務持有量就超過970 億美元。」這使得Tether 躋身全球債務持有量前18 位的國家之列，超過了德國、阿拉伯聯合大公國和澳洲。
