Tether's gold reserves exceeded 23 billion dollars.

Tether's Gold Purchases Outpaced National Economies

Tether purchased approximately 32 tons of physical gold by the end of 2025 and in January 2026. According to Jefferies analysts, this rate of acquisition was only surpassed by Brazil and Poland. Tether's total gold assets have reached a level that competes with the reserves of medium-sized sovereign states.

Tether holds these gold assets to support the value of the USDT stablecoin and as reserves for gold-backed XAUT. CEO Paolo Ardoino also announced plans to shift up to 15% of the company's investment portfolio into gold.
