I'm well familiar with the phrase "earnings before tax" but I was not aware it was referred to as an acronym in financial circles:

Always cool to see "EBT" used in bills' serial numbers. :)

No string of three consecutive letters, but we'll see some "oblique" EBT's in due time (something like EB 01 TA... I suppose the EB xx TR sequence would be the best :) even more oblique instances are out there already in the form of AE 02 BT, for example).
