Tether Gold Reserves Surpass 148 Tons, Ranking Top 30 Globally! OSL Launch XAUt 'Learn to Earn' Campaign

Amidst global financial market turmoil, stablecoin giant Tether is quietly emerging as one of the world's largest holders of gold.

According to a recent report by investment bank Jefferies, cited by CoinDesk, Tether's physical gold reserves had surged to approximately 148 tons by the end of January 2026, with a total value of around $23 billion. This data not only propels Tether into the top 30 global gold holders but also places its holdings above the official reserves of nations such as Australia, the UAE, and Qatar.

Tether's "Gold Ambition": From Reserves to Payments

The report notes that in the fourth quarter of 2025 alone, Tether purchased approximately 26 tons of gold, followed by an additional 6 tons in the opening month of 2026. Its quarterly purchasing volume trailed only the central banks of Poland and Brazil.

Beyond aggressively accumulating physical gold as reserve assets for USDT and XAUt, Tether is accelerating its supply chain expansion. Recently, Tether invested $150 million to acquire a roughly 12% stake in the precious metals platform Gold.com. The two parties plan to integrate Tether's gold stablecoin, XAUt, into the platform and explore enabling users to purchase physical gold directly using USDT and XAUt, effectively closing the payment loop between "digital tokens" and "physical gold bars."

Why is XAUt (Tether Gold) Worth Watching?

With the revelation of Tether's massive gold reserves, its gold-backed token, Tether Gold (XAUt), has once again become a market focal point. As a Real World Asset (RWA) token backed 1:1 by physical gold, XAUt perfectly addresses the pain points of traditional gold investment:

• Physical Ownership: Each XAUt token represents ownership of one troy ounce of physical gold on a specific gold bar.

• Zero Custody Fees: Unlike gold ETFs, holding XAUt requires no expensive annual management or custody fees.

• 24/7 Liquidity: Breaking the time constraints of banks and traditional exchanges, XAUt enables 24/7 on-chain transfers and trading.

• Divisibility & Portability: Compared to heavy gold bars, XAUt offers high portability and divisibility, making it ideal for asset allocation in the digital age.
