Tether USA, led by CEO Bo Hines, said it plans to become one of the top-10 global purchasers of U.S. Treasury bills by 2026 as part of a strategic shift away from commercial paper to Treasury bills [1][3].

Bo Hines stated the firm will increase Treasury bill purchases alongside rising demand for its stablecoins, including USDT and the newly announced USAT, framing the move as part of Tether’s broader liquidity strategy [3].

Tether also published a public directory mapping the USD₮ ecosystem and reported a USD₮ market capitalization of roughly $186 billion, highlighting the scale of the stablecoin amid the company’s stated Treasury-focused positioning [4].

Taken together, Tether’s public remarks and its ecosystem mapping reflect a stated shift toward U.S. Treasury bills to support stablecoin growth, with the company projecting top-10 Treasury-buyer status by 2026 [1][3][4].
