Tether Invests $100 Million in Anchorage Digital to Strengthen Partnership
Tether has announced a significant $100 million investment in Anchorage Digital, expanding their previous collaboration amid Anchorage's plans for a major capital raise.
Tether has made a strategic equity investment of $100 million in Anchorage Digital, formalizing a previously established relationship between the stablecoin issuer and the federally regulated U.S. crypto bank.
Per a post by Tether, this investment strengthens their previous collaboration, which included Anchorage Digital’s role as the issuer of the USAt stablecoin.
USAt is designed to function within the United States under the federal payment stablecoin framework created by the GENIUS Act enacted in July 2025.
Anchorage Digital Bank, founded in 2017 in San Francisco, is recognized as the first federally chartered digital asset bank in the U.S., offering services in custody, settlement, staking, and stablecoin issuance to its institutional clientele.
This investment is facilitated by Tether Investments, the El Salvador-based investment arm of Tether, and takes place amid reports that Anchorage Digital may seek to raise between $200 million and $400 million in preparation for a potential IPO next year.
Tether, the issuer of USDT, stands as the largest stablecoin globally by market capitalization, boasting around $185 billion in circulation, equivalent to approximately 60% of the total stablecoin market, according to data from DefiLlama.
Tether’s Profits Fuel Investments
In 2025, Tether declared a net profit exceeding $10 billion and recorded $6.3 billion in excess reserves. These outcomes underscore Tether’s robust financial health, elucidating its recent investment endeavors.
In July, CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that Tether has invested in over 120 companies with its own profits, projecting further growth for the investment portfolio.
This trend includes Tether’s prior investments, such as a stake in the Bitcoin-backed lending platform, Ledn, as well as a planned investment in a robotics firm, Neura, worth approximately $1.15 billion.
As Tether continues to bolster its Bitcoin reserves, it has disclosed the acquisition of 8,888 Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to more than 96,000 BTC.
If Tether were publicly traded, it would rank as the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, based on data compiled by BitcoinTreasuries.NET.
