Tether Holdings SA, the issuer of the $159 billion USDT stablecoin, has secretly constructed and now operates its own high-security vault in Switzerland to store a massive $8 billion worth of gold. This revelation, reported by Bloomberg, positions Tether among the largest non-bank and non-state gold holders, with nearly 80 metric tons of the precious metal. Tether’s Fort Knox Tether CEO Paulo Ardoino confirmed the existence of the company-owned facility, telling Bloomberg it is “the most secure vault in the world.” While he didn’t disclose its exact location within Switzerland for security reasons, the installation represents a significant operational shift. The executive stated the decision to build the vault was driven by cost efficiency, particularly as the company eyes substantial growth for its gold-backed token, XAUT. “If Tether’s gold token was to grow to $100 billion in circulation… If you have your own vault, eventually with the size, it gets much cheaper to do custody,” he explained. While USDT is primarily backed by U.S. Treasuries, about 5% of its reserves consist of precious metals, including the $8 billion gold stash. According to analysts, this may put the stablecoin at odds with proposed regulatory frameworks, including the GENIUS Act, recently passed in the U.S. Senate, which mandates that stablecoins be backed by cash and cash equivalent assets such as short-term government bonds. In Ardoino’s view, “Gold should be logically a safer asset than any national currency.” However, should such rules become law, their asset restrictions would directly challenge Tether’s diversification into the safe-haven metal, whose price has rallied 25% this year amid geopolitical tensions and strong institutional demand. As such, the company may be forced to divest its holdings or risk being excluded from regulated markets in Europe and the United States. Booming Stablecoin Market The stablecoin issuer’s gold strategy comes at a time when fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies are experiencing tremendous growth. Last month, total supply hit the $250 billion mark for the first time. At the time of this writing, the stablecoins had a collective market value of $255.3 billion, having added an extra $1.871 billion in the last seven days, according to data from DeFiLlama. USDT makes up more than 62% of that amount, with its closest rival, Circle’s USDC, taking up about 24%, leaving 267 others to split the remaining 14% among themselves.

Tether’s $8 Billion Gold Hoard: A Swiss Safe Haven USDT stablecoin issuer Tether has amassed almost 80 tons of gold valued at $8 billion. This massive gold reserve, stored somewhere in Switzerland, is said to collateralize its assets and provide a safe foundation for its digital currency. The Secret Vault: A Worldwide Secure Place Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino recently confirmed during an interview with Bloomberg that the company possesses nearly 80 tons of gold, with most of that belonging to Tether in its entirety. The company has gone to great extents to secure the reserve by keeping it in highly secure Swiss vault, though not revealing where this is for security reasons. Ardoino called the vault “the most secure in the world” but wouldn’t specify when it was established. That secrecy, Tether explained, is essential to protect the gold from getting damaged. Tether’s Gold Reserve: An Expanding Asset The $8 billion gold reserve has earned Tether a position of being among the largest owners of gold in the world, aside from the normal banks and states. The holding is nearly equal to the combined reserves of metals and commodities held by UBS Group. Tether’s move to hold such a massive amount of gold was part of a grand plan to bring stability to the crypto scene. Gold as a Safe Haven Asset Ardoino highlighted the increasing relevance of gold, especially as an inflation hedge and as a hedge against economic uncertainty. He argued that gold, as a physical asset, offers a safer alternative to national currencies and that concerns regarding exploding U.S. debt could encourage people to turn to gold and other assets for a store of value. With gold prices having risen by 38.5% over the past twelve months, Tether’s decision to keep a large reserve of gold now looks like a wise one, particularly when the gold price rose to its historic high of $3,390 per ounce in April. Tether Gold and the Future of Digital Assets Earlier this year, Tether launched 7.7 tons of physical gold to complement its digital asset Tether Gold (XAUT), a 1:1 backed stablecoin collateralized by untarnished gold reserves. Its market capitalization of over $811 million has made Tether Gold a strong contender as a digital replacement for physical gold. Since Tether continues to hold and keep gold reserves, its role as a gold sector contributor and a cryptocurrency issuer also seems to increase.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino revealed that the company is on track to become “probably the biggest miner in the world” by the end of 2025. Ardoino acknowledged that, in most cases, direct BTC investment yields higher profits than mining, but emphasized Tether’s strategic choice to participate in mining to protect its treasury and support Bitcoin’s network security. Bitcoin Mining Supremacy In a recent interview with Bankless, Ardoino explained that the stablecoin issuer already holds significant Bitcoin reserves and therefore has an incentive to contribute to the network’s decentralization through mining operations across South America, the United States, and other regions. Ardoino highlighted the importance of maintaining a mining presence in the US during what he described as a “monumental time” for the industry. On profitability, the exec noted that while block rewards will eventually drop to zero, on-chain fees are expected to rise significantly, which will turn the Bitcoin main chain into a settlement layer for Lightning channels and major contracts. He suggested that these contracts would underpin an “enormous amount” of transactions. In line with Tether’s broader efforts to promote decentralization, it announced plans to open-source its Bitcoin Mining OS (MOS) last month to help new miners enter the market without costly vendor reliance. Ardoino had then described MOS as scalable, modular, and built on peer-to-peer IoT architecture, which is designed to support existing mining infrastructure like containers and power devices. The rollout is expected by the fourth quarter of 2025. The exec said this move would help more companies to compete in securing the Bitcoin network. Earlier, the company partnered with Ocean mining pool to decentralize block building by committing its current and future hash rate to the protocol. Tether’s Gold Reserves Alongside its aggressive mining ambitions, Tether has been quietly expanding its reserve strategy beyond Bitcoin. In fact, Ardoino recently revealed that the firm holds approximately $8 billion in gold, which is around 80 tonnes, in a Swiss vault he described as “the most secure vault in the world.” The exec added that Tether owns nearly the entire stockpile, which makes it one of the largest private gold holders globally. Gold now comprises almost 5% of Tether’s $112 billion reserves, on par with UBS’s precious‑metals holdings.
