Paolo Ardoino, the CEO of Tether, said Q1 2025 showcased his company’s continued leadership in stability, strength, and vision. He also stressed that the stablecoin issuer had record U.S. Treasury exposure, growing reserves, strong profits, and there was increased adoption of USD₮ worldwide.

–Paolo Ardoino, Tether CEO
As per the BDO, the valuation of Tether’s assets was based on normal trading conditions and did not reflect unexpected and extraordinary market conditions or the case of key custodians or counterparties experiencing substantial illiquidity, which may result in delayed realizable values. No provision for expected credit losses was identified by management at the reporting date.
Tether acquires 70% of Adecoagro to expand into sustainable infrastructure
On April 30th, Tether announced the successful acquisition of a 70% controlling stake in Adecoagro, representing a major step in the company’s broader strategy to expand beyond digital finance and into real-world infrastructure–including energy, agriculture, data, and communications.
According to the USDT issuer, its engagement with Adecoagro began in September 2024 with a $100 million investment for a 9.8% stake, signaling its intent to support and scale sustainable real-world asset (RWA) production. The acquisition was part of Tether’s growing focus on leveraging its capital and technological expertise to invest in businesses that supported economic freedom and long-term resilience in emerging markets.
Ardoino said the acquisition of Adecoagro reflected his company’s commitment to advancing sustainable, real-world infrastructure in regions where investment was historically limited. Mariano Bosch, the Co-Founder and CEO of Adecoagro, also added that Tether’s investment marked a turning point for his company.
The newly appointed Chairman of the Board, Juan Sartori, believes that the partnership also brought a new era of opportunity for Adecoagro. He added that his company looked forward to scaling its impact in sustainable agriculture and energy, reinforcing capital discipline, and unlocking long-term value across South America. Sartori also emphasized that Adecoagro’s acquisition followed a series of initiatives by Tether to broaden its reach and reassert its role, with prior initiatives in bitcoin mining, AI infrastructure, and peer-to-peer communications.
