Tether Holdings has announced that its Chief Investment Officer, Richard Heathcote, will step down from his role and transition to a non-executive advisory position. Zachary Lyons, Heathcote's deputy, will assume the role of CIO.

As of the end of 2025, Tether's USDT had a circulation of approximately $184 billion, with the company holding around $122 billion in U.S. Treasury securities. This strategic shift in leadership comes as Tether continues to expand its investment portfolio and maintain its position in the stablecoin market.
