One US cup of butter weighs 227 grams (exactly 8 ounces) — that is 2 sticks. This is the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart figure, the reference most US test kitchens use.
A tablespoon of butter is about 14 grams, since one cup holds 16 tablespoons. A teaspoon is about 4.7 grams.
250 grams of butter is about 1⅛ cups (250 ÷ 227). Weighing is more reliable than measuring by cup.
