Tether says Q3 profit hit $1.5B as reserves neared $8B
In short
Tether said its extra reserves nearly doubled to $8 billion in the third quarter, and its profit was $1.5 billion. The report also said its Bitcoin reserves were worth $8.37 billion at the end of September.
This matters because Tether is a major stablecoin issuer and holds large Treasury and Bitcoin positions. The report does not say what this means for Tether’s future actions or the wider crypto market.

The available reporting does not say whether the reserve increase changes redemptions, issuance, or market conditions.
