Recent data shows the addition of around 26 tons of gold in just one quarter, pushing its total gold reserves to roughly 116 tons. This figure puts Tether at a level even higher than the purchases of many central banks during the same period. The acquired gold is used as part of their reserves to back USDT and the gold token XAUT.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tether bought more gold last quarter than every central bank. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zXN8D36CUW\">pic.twitter.com\/zXN8D36CUW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sam Callahan (@samcallah) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/samcallah\/status\/1993430210323357963?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">November 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Tether Steps Into a Gold Market Long Ruled by Central Banks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Last October, we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crypto-news-flash.com\/tether-and-antalpha-set-200m-plan-to-expand-gold-token-reach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highlighted <\/a>Tether\u2019s plan with Antalpha to raise around $200 million to build a dedicated digital treasury to accumulate XAUT.
