Actually this looks fine. Less than 2% of the portfolio is in other investments. The cash like assets they have are good collateral for cash and have maturities within a year. If everyone converts tether into usd, they won’t have trouble converting those assets into cash.
It is official Tether is a fraud

Please enlighten us how ? They have 3 percent in cash the test digital IOU
Yeah you don’t seem familiar with how treasury management works. No one carries cash. Think about your entire net worth. How much is in physical paper? How much is in your bank account. How much in CDs?
While their portfolio may skew on the risky side, which we don’t know unless they tell us the average rating and yield of their commercial paper holdings, etc., the general composition is not so different than the way most entities operate.
do not divert to treasury talk. USDT premise always was that it is backed 1:1 with fiat. Reality is that only tiny Portion like 4 percent has real money behind it. They admitted that they lied all last 7 years.
How about the commercial papers and promissory notes part? They could be writing IOUs to each other as far as we know it. They are lending the money out, but we don't know just how risky those investments are, that is my take.
This was also from end of March. Since they added a cool 20B. What happened to that money?
This is kinda my read. So they don't have cash but have government checks for same? What's "paper money"?
Seems kinda FUD, today's reaction just seems like Elon's nonsense from yesterday.
We knew Tether was a big fraud for a long time now, so isn't this all priced into bitcoin already?
I agree with your angle. But that’s the difference between “omg fraud they don’t have dollars!” And “this portfolio looks risky”.
If fraud —> class action law suit —> founders thrown in jail
If risky portfolio —> confidence issue —> board response —> ??
You have too much faith in the system if you think fraud --> founders thrown in jail.
It's just a possibility... but there is everything else thrown into the volatility like paying fines and ratting out a co-conspirator for leniency.

Weird you would think bitcoin would be taking a much bigger hit. I wonder if the news has not gotten out much or no one cares.
