While Gold Breaks Records, Tether Also Releases Gold Statement!
The world's largest stablecoin company, Tether, announced that it has made substantial purchases alongside the rise in gold prices.
Tether stated that in Q4 2025, it bought approximately 27 tons of gold, and the current value of this asset has reached $4.4 billion.
The company's gold-backed stablecoin, XAUT #GoldandSilverHitNewHighs Tether Gold(, now controls over 60% of the gold-backed stablecoin market with this growth, surpassing a total market capitalization of $4 billion.
According to an assessment shared by Tether, the total value of the gold-backed stablecoin market increased from $1.3 billion in 2025 to over $4 billion. The rapid expansion was driven by record-high gold prices, geopolitical uncertainties, and both institutional and digital investors turning to "safe haven" assets that can stay on-chain. As the period of announcement approached, spot gold prices exceeding $5,000 per ounce indicated a renewed global demand for physical gold.
As of December 31, 2025, TG Commodities S.A. de C.V., a registered stablecoin issuer and digital asset service provider in El Salvador, verified by management, holds a physical gold reserve of 520,089.35 troy ounces of Tether Gold. According to the company's claim, each of the 520,089.30 XAUT tokens in circulation is backed 1:1 by a troy ounce of physical gold. While the total market value is estimated at $2.25 billion, a significant portion of the tokens has already been sold. The company states that all reserve gold is stored in London Good Delivery bars at the London Bullion Market Association in Switzerland.
According to data from the International Monetary Fund )IMF( and a Jefferies report published at the end of 2025, Tether is now among the top 30 largest gold holders in the world, surpassing countries like Greece, Qatar, and Australia.
