Global USDT Expansion Supports Tether’s Record Profit Forecast
According to Bloomberg, the El Salvador-based company expects to make around $15 billion in profits in 2025, up from $13 billion in 2024. This anticipated growth underscores the strength of Tether's business model and operational efficiency, making it one of the world's most profitable companies per employee.
Tether's profitability is largely fueled by the massive use of its flagship token, USDT, which now counts nearly 184 billion dollars in circulation. The token's dominance has attracted investors and driven global adoption of digital dollars, particularly in regions where access to traditional banks remains limited.
Remember that the company would seek to raise 20 billion dollars for a valuation of 500 billionsignaling its ambition to expand beyond its core stablecoin business. Although CEO Paolo Ardoino did not confirm specific figures, he acknowledged ongoing discussions with “a select group of high-profile investors.”
Among those discussions is a deal with Antalpha Platform Holding, a crypto finance company, aimed at securing around $200 million for a new public company focused on gold-backed digital tokens.
Recently, Tether announced that USDT has surpassed 500 million users worldwide, marking a major milestone in its growth. Ardoino described this achievement as a key step towards financial inclusion, noting that the stablecoin has become an essential tool for individuals and businesses in emerging markets.
He added that the company continues to attract strong interest from potential investors and is working to establish a valuation that it considers very attractive.
Digital finance enters a new era with the rise of stablecoins
Following the US Congress's passage of the GENIUS Act, the country's first legislation focused on stablecoins, the market gained even more momentum. This movement represents a growing recognition of blockchain-based payment systems as a means to strengthen the global influence of the US dollar.
Tether co-founder Reeve Collins sees this as part of a broader shift that could reconfigure the global monetary system. He noted that in the future, most traditional currencies are likely to exist in tokenized form, functioning as stablecoins within digital payment networks.
Any currency will be a stablecoin. So even fiat currency will be a stablecoin. It will simply be called dollars, euros or yen.

Ardoino added that USDT now reaches approximately 6.25% of the world's population, highlighting the scale of global adoption of the digital dollar.
Beyond finance, Tether is expanding its influence in sports. He now holds 10.12% of the capital of Juventus Football Club and 6.18% of its voting rights, making him the second largest shareholder of the Italian club after Exor, the holding company of the Agnelli family. Tether also plans to participate in Juventus' €110 million capital increase, aimed at helping the club recover financially.
