Tether is enhancing its reserve strategy by increasing allocations in Bitcoin and gold, aiming to diversify beyond traditional assets. The company has integrated these assets as long-term components to bolster stability and hedge against economic uncertainty. As of June 2025, Tether's tokenized gold, XAUt, is backed by over 7.66 tons of physical gold. CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized Bitcoin and gold as key hedges against inflation and uncertainty, countering rumors of Bitcoin sales to boost gold holdings. Tether continues to expand its Bitcoin and gold reserves while maintaining a significant portion of its assets in liquid instruments like U.S. Treasurys.
