In accordance with Coindesk, investment bank Jefferies reported that Tether has accumulated 116 tons of gold as of the third quarter of 2025, with 12 tons backing its XAUt token and 104 tons supporting USDT. The stablecoin issuer's gold purchases, totaling 26 tons in Q3 alone, are seen as a key factor in the year's over 50% surge in gold prices. Analysts estimate that Tether's gold strategy could add nearly 60 tons annually if half of its projected $15 billion 2025 profit is allocated to bullion. The report also highlights Tether's $300 million investments in gold royalty and streaming firms, as well as recent hires from HSBC, signaling an accelerated push into the gold market.
