Tether stacking gold while markets shake.
Tether bought ~27 tons of gold in Q4 2025, pushing $XAU₮ reserves higher as investors run toward hard assets.
While everyone’s watching charts blink red and green, Tether is doing something very old-school: buying physical gold. Twenty-seven tons in just one quarter. That’s not a hedge — that’s a statement.
$XAU₮ is quietly becoming the heavyweight of gold-backed stablecoins, now worth over $4B and controlling roughly 60% of the entire segment. In one year, the niche went from “cute experiment” to a serious alternative for people who want crypto rails with ancient money underneath 🪙
What really caught my attention? Tether is now reportedly among the top 30 gold holders worldwide. Ahead of some countries. Let that sink in. A crypto company, born from stablecoins and controversy, sitting on more gold than nation-states. Incroyable.
In times of macro stress, people don’t chase narratives — they chase certainty. And gold has been telling the same story for 5,000 years. Tether clearly listened.
I don’t see this as anti-crypto. I see it as crypto growing roots. Deep ones.
