Additionally, leveraging a periodic profit allocation strategy, Tether’s Bitcoin investment portfolio is currently valued at around 3 billion USD as of January 4, 2024, continuing to be a significant source of income for the company.

In his new role, Ardoino is working to foster closer ties between Tether and U.S. law enforcement agencies, demonstrated by several instances of collaboration, including freezing wallets on the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions list and seizing over 435 million USD in illicit funds.
