Tether increases Bitcoin and gold allocations to strengthen reserves and diversify beyond traditional assets.
CEO Paolo Ardoino reaffirms Bitcoin and gold as long-term hedges against inflation and uncertainty.
Gold-backed XAUt exceeds 7.66 tons as Tether expands exposure to mining, refining, and commodity investments.
Tether continues to strengthen its financial base through strategic allocations in Bitcoin and gold. The company has positioned both assets as long-term components of its reserves to enhance stability and hedge against economic uncertainty. This approach supports Tether’s broader plan to diversify its holdings beyond traditional financial instruments.
Tether Expands Bitcoin and Gold Holdings for Long-Term Stability
Tether said in May 2023 that it would allocate up to 15% of its net realized operating profits to purchase Bitcoin. The company stated that these acquisitions aim to reinforce its balance sheet and serve as a long-term investment, rather than to back the USDT stablecoin directly.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino recently wrote on X that “Bitcoin and gold will outlast any other currency,” reaffirming his consistent view on their long-term relevance. He previously grouped Bitcoin, gold, and land as hedges against inflation and uncertainty, emphasizing their ability to maintain value during volatile market conditions.
Tether has dismissed rumors that it sold Bitcoin to increase its exposure to gold. Instead, it continues to expand both assets in parallel. Most of the company’s reserves remain in liquid instruments such as U.S. Treasurys, ensuring strong liquidity while adding layers of protection through hard assets.
Gold’s Expanding Role in Tether’s Reserve Strategy
Gold has become an increasingly central asset in Tether’s reserve management. The company’s tokenized gold, XAUt, is backed by more than 7.66 tons of physical gold as of June 2025. This structure allows users to access gold digitally while maintaining full metal backing.
Tether is also exploring broader participation in the gold industry, including mining, refining, and royalty investments. This initiative supports its diversification strategy and provides additional exposure to physical commodities within its reserve framework.
The company’s dual focus on Bitcoin and gold reflects a balance between digital and traditional stores of value. The next reserve attestation, expected in the coming weeks, is anticipated to show updated allocations. As both assets maintain upward momentum in 2025, Tether’s approach positions it for continued reserve resilience and stability.

Willy Woo emphasized that energy is the only path to forging an absolute hard currency, and physical atoms are not scarce.

Charles Schwab Wealth Management Warning: Allocating 1%-3% of an investment portfolio to BTC/ETH can significantly alter the risk profile.
Gate News message: On April 7, the U.S. financial giant Charles Schwab released a research bulletin warning that even if only 1%-3% of funds are allocated to Bitcoin or Ethereum within an investment portfolio, it may significantly change the portfolio’s overall risk characteristics. The research report notes that Bitcoin and Ethereum have both historically experienced drawdowns of more than 70%, far higher than the volatility levels of stocks or bonds; therefore, even small allocations can have a noticeable impact during periods of market volatility. Charles Schwab proposed two cryptocurrency allocation approaches: one is the traditional portfolio theory method, which allocates based on expected returns, volatility, and correlation; the other is a risk-based method, which determines the share of crypto assets according to the level of risk one is willing to take, shifting the focus from returns to risk tolerance.
