According to the report, $56.6 billion worth of reserves are in U.S. Treasury bills with a maturity date of less than 90 days. Meanwhile, another $8.8 billion was held in reverse repurchase agreements involving these bills. There was $8.2 billion in U.S. Money Market funds pegged to $1 per note and $292 million in cash and bank deposits. Another $65 million is held in the form of treasury bills from countries other than the U.S.. The total amount of cash and cash equivalents is approximately $74 billion, which is 85.73% of Tether’s total reserves of $86.4 billion.
The report also shows that Tether has reduced its reliance on secured loans as a means of raising revenue. Secured loans now make up only $5.1 billion worth of USDT reserves, which is approximately $336 million less than what the previous report showed. Tether was criticized in September for continuing to make secured loans after previously stating that it would wind these down.

In an accompanying blog post, Tether forecast a further reduction in loans by the close of day on October 31. An additional $1.1 billion in loans will be wound down by this date, at which point only $900 million in loans will remain as part of reserves.
BDO publishes attestations of Tether’s reserves every quarter, with a one-month lag between the end of the quarter and the publication of the report. Tether claims that it is working on a system to provide real-time audit reports in 2024.
