该公司表示，今年第二季度实现了 13 亿美元的净利润。这些利润的一部分被再投资于“战略项目”

Stablecoin issuer Tether has disclosed its latest financials, revealing a "record" $5.2 billion of net profits in the first half of the year as the market cap of its flagship cryptocurrency continues to slide.

稳定币发行商 Tether 披露了其最新财务数据，随着其旗舰加密货币的市值持续下滑，该公司上半年净利润创下“创纪录”的 52 亿美元。

Signed by accounting firm BDO Italy, the company's stablecoin issuer arm Tether International Limited and Tether Limited disclosed $118.4 billion of assets in reserve against $113.1 billion in liabilities as of June 30. This translated to $5.3 billion of excess reserves backing Tether's stablecoins.

截至 6 月 30 日，该公司的稳定币发行机构 Tether International Limited 和 Tether Limited 由会计师事务所 BDO Italy 签署，披露了 1184 亿美元的资产准备金和 1131 亿美元的负债。这相当于支持 Tether 稳定币的超额准备金为 53 亿美元。

该公司表示，其美国国债持有量达976亿美元，在各国中排名第18位，超过德国、阿联酋和澳大利亚。

Tether Investments, the entity established as a separate division from the stablecoin business to manage the company's growing foray into bitcoin, had total digital asset holdings – including bitcoin – valued at $5.8 billion as of June 30. The company's bitcoin holdings now stand at 10.8% of its total reserves.

Tether Investments 是作为稳定币业务的一个独立部门而成立的实体，旨在管理该公司不断进军比特币的业务，截至 6 月 30 日，该公司持有的数字资产总额（包括比特币）价值 58 亿美元。该公司持有的比特币目前为 10.8%其总储量。

Tether's USDT is a key piece of infrastructure in the crypto market for trading and is increasingly in demand in developing countries as a vehicle to access the U.S. dollars.

Tether 的 USDT 是加密货币市场交易基础设施的关键部分，作为获取美元的工具，在发展中国家的需求日益增长。

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.

多年来，Tether 因其储备的不透明性而受到严格审查。最近针对该公司的一项集体诉讼称，Tether 高管误导投资者，错误地声称其稳定币始终得到现金和现金等价物的充分支持。

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.

该公司已将其储备转向数字资产和其他“进步”工具，其现金和现金等价物储备目前已降至总额的22.2%。相比之下，数字资产持有量目前占公司总储备的 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 部分资产的华尔街投资银行 Cantor Fitzgerald 董事长兼首席执行官霍华德·卢特尼克 (Howard Lutnick) 在一份声明中表示，该公司“创纪录”的利润是由其“对透明度和监管合规性的坚定承诺”推动的。

"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：“我们很高兴地宣布，Tether 的储备现已超过 1180 亿美元，其中仅美国债务持有量就超过 970 亿美元。”这使得 Tether 跻身全球债务持有量前 18 位的国家之列，超过了德国、阿拉伯联合酋长国和澳大利亚。”
