USA₮ Reserve Report Shows Sustained Scale, Larger Surplus Backing, and Institutional-Grade Stability

30 June 2026 –  Anchorage Digital Bank N.A has released the USA₮ Reserve Report as of May 31, 2026, prepared under the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) “2025 Criteria for Stablecoin Reporting: Specific to Asset Backed Fiat Pegged Tokens.”

As of 11:59:59 p.m. UTC on May 31, 2026, there were 156,516,514 USA₮ tokens outstanding, an increase of 15,665,564 tokens from April’s 140,850,950.

Reserve assets totaled $157,033,006, up from $141,178,400 in April, an increase of $15,854,606 month over month.

Reserves exceeded tokens outstanding by approximately $516,492, compared to a $327,450 surplus in April, continuing a consistent pattern of overcollateralization across each monthly report.

This report lands at a moment when the U.S. is positioning itself to take a more active role in digital asset infrastructure. Legislative efforts and regulatory guidance are increasingly focused on bringing stablecoin activity onshore, prioritizing transparency, high-quality reserves, and supervised issuance models. USA₮ aligns directly with that direction. Issued through OCC supervised rails, with reserves held in segregated accounts and disclosed under AICPA criteria, the structure reflects the direction the market is moving toward.

After April’s significant increase in circulation, the May report shows USA₮ sustaining its larger operating base while maintaining full reserves, surplus backing, and disclosures that can be tracked month to month under U.S. regulatory oversight. USA₮ has grown from 22,050,123 tokens outstanding at the end of March to 156,516,514 tokens outstanding at the end of May, while reserves have continued to exceed redeemable tokens outstanding across each report. That consistency is being established as the U.S. moves toward a clearer framework for regulated digital dollars, with policymakers and market participants increasingly focused on reserve quality, transparent disclosures, and reliable redemption standards. USA₮ is already operating within those parameters, offering a live example of how a regulated digital dollar can function under existing oversight.

“It is one thing to grow quickly; it is another to show that the structure continues to hold as that growth becomes real activity,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “The latest report shows that USA₮ is operating with full reserve backing, a growing surplus, and transparent reporting under U.S. oversight. That is what matters for the next phase of stablecoins. The market needs digital dollars that can scale, remain fully backed, and meet the standards expected of the financial system.”

“April showed demand, and May shows durability,” said Bo Hines, CEO of Tether USA₮. “After a major increase in circulation, the important question is whether tokens outstanding, reserves, and surplus backing continue to move together. This report shows that they do. Institutions are not evaluating stablecoins on a single growth number; they are looking for systems that behave predictably as activity increases, and that is what USA₮ is demonstrating.”

USA₮ continues to expand across payments, settlements, treasury operations, and digital platforms as demand for regulated, transparent digital dollars accelerates.
