根据全球领先的独立会计师事务所 BDO 最近发布的第二季度审计报告,Tether Holdings 宣布 2024 年上半年净利润达到 52 亿美元,创下历史新高。

同时,该公司第二季度的净营业利润为 13 亿美元,创下了迄今为止的最高季度利润

利润的增长主要来自以美国国债为主的传统资产类投资,这使得 Tether 直接和间接持有的资产超过了 976 亿美元。

这一数字使 Tether 的国债持有量超过了德国、阿联酋和澳大利亚等国,在全球美债持有量排名中位列第 18 位。同时,该公司在购买 3 个月期美国国债方面排名第三,仅次于英国和开曼群岛。

截至 6 月 30 日,Tether 的综合权益达到 119 亿美元,比第一季度增加了 5.2 亿美元

尽管 BTC 价格下跌造成了 6.53 亿美元的未实现亏损,但黄金投资带来的 1.65 亿美元未实现收益部分抵消了这一亏损。

Tether 在第二季度发行了超过 83 亿美元的 USDT,并在 6 月底保持了 53 亿美元的储备盈余,以确保其通证的稳定性。

该证明再次证实了 Tether 综合财务数字和储备报告(CFFRR)的准确性,强调支持 Tether 流通通证的储备价值超过负债 53.3 亿美元。

截至 6 月 30 日,Tether 通证的储备总额为 1184.4 亿美元,而负债为 1131.0 亿美元,其中 1124.0 亿美元与已发行的数字通证有关。

Tether 将利润再投资到各种项目中,包括可持续能源、BTC mining、数据、人工智能基础设施、P2P 电信技术、神经技术和教育等,彰显了其对创新和长期发展的承诺。

第二季度报告还强调了 Tether 的财务状况,综合资产超过了综合负债

来自 BDO 的独立审计师报告确认,合并财务数据和储备报告公允列报,不存在重大误报。

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.

The Full Story Behind Encryption Unicorn Blockstream's Deep Entanglement in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details allegations of serious fraud surrounding the crypto company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. Investigation account NatInfoSec accuses Blockstream of raising billions through its Blockstream Mining Note (BMN) products, which offer high fixed yields of up to 20% from purported mining revenue. The core allegations are: 1) Blockstream's public mining hash rate (15 EH/s) appears insufficient to cover the massive payout obligations from sold BMN notes, raising questions about the true source of investor payouts. 2) Key executive Christopher William Cook, central to the mining operations, has a prior federal conviction for mail fraud, a fact not disclosed to investors. Cook's background and lavish lifestyle are highlighted as red flags. 3) The structure allows payouts from any source of BTC, not necessarily mining revenue, which critics argue gives it Ponzi-like characteristics. The controversy also touches on Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a related entity planning a SPAC上市. Critics question whether BMN's liabilities and Cook's record should be disclosed in BSTR's filings. BitMEX Research offered a tempered analysis, confirming Cook's criminal record is likely true and the high yields concerning, but found other claims like insufficient抵押证据 less substantiated. Community debate centers on the need for verifiable proof of Blockstream's mining output and revenue. The article concludes that while fraud is not proven, BMN presents significant, unresolved questions regarding its actual scale, the source of its high fixed returns, the verifiability of its mining operations and payouts, and the full disclosure of associated risks and personnel backgrounds. Blockstream has not yet issued a formal response.
