Tether Paolo Ardoino’s CEO said in a Post on x On Sunday that “Bitcoin and Gold will come out of any other currency,” a minimalist line aligned with how Stablecoin providers have been positioned by its reserves in the last two years.
On May 17, 2023, Tether Says This regularly provides up to 15% of the net that has realized operating income to buy Bitcoin for reserves, adding BTC to excess instead of using it to back up the migrating USDT one-for-for-one. The company framed the transfer as strengthening its balance sheet with a long-term value store.
Btc and gold as parallel columns
The gold is sitting next to Bitcoin in that mix.
Tether issues Tether gold (XAUT), a token that -backed by allocated bars, and Says On July 24 more than 7.66 tonnes of metal -backing the remaining tokens until June 30, 2025. Separately, as CoinDesk reported On September 5, 2025, citing The Financial Times, Tether made conversations to invest throughout the chain of gold -from mining and refining the royalties -as part of a broader variety.
Ardoino combined the genitals rhetorically before. On September 7, he referred to Bitcoin, gold and land as fences and later removed suggestions that Tether sold the BTC to accumulate gold, saying the company remained focused on growing the Bitcoin position.
The eight-word post is now less than a policy shift than a restoration-the Bitcoin as a strategic possession added with income, and gold as a parallel pillar by tokenization and potential investment in the flow-while most reserves remain in liquid instruments such as the US Treasurys per attestations. The next reserve report, which is expected late this month or early next month, will show if allocation to BTC and gold has changed.
Like Sunday, 8:10 pm UTC, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has dropped 8.88% years to the present, while Bitcoin and Gold-BTC-USD and XAU-USD-have reached 22.79% and 52.91%, respectively, according to the marketwatch.
