Tether stores $8B in gold, nearly 80 tons
Vault located secretly in Switzerland
One of the largest non-bank gold holders
Tether’s Secret $8B Gold Reserve Revealed
Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin (USDT), is making headlines again—this time not for crypto, but for gold. The company is reported to be holding $8 billion worth of gold, or nearly 80 tons, in a secret Swiss vault. This revelation positions Tether among the largest private holders of gold globally—excluding banks and sovereign nations.
While Tether is best known for its digital assets and stablecoin dominance, this quiet accumulation of physical gold suggests a broader strategy of asset diversification and long-term risk management.
Why Gold? A Move Toward Tangible Stability
Gold has historically been a safe haven during times of economic uncertainty. For Tether, whose reserves and transparency have faced scrutiny in the past, holding a substantial quantity of physical gold adds credibility and diversification to its backing strategy.
The 80-ton gold reserve—held in one of the world’s most secure and secretive Swiss facilities—also serves as a hedge against fiat currency volatility and geopolitical risks. Tether has previously revealed that it holds various reserve assets, including U.S. Treasuries and Bitcoin. Now, gold appears to be another strategic pillar.

A Strategic Power Move in the Crypto Space
This move reinforces Tether’s influence not just in digital finance, but in traditional commodities as well. Few companies outside of sovereign wealth funds or central banks hold this much gold. For the crypto market, it’s a sign that major players are thinking beyond blockchain—into real-world asset stability and long-term value preservation.
As competition in the stablecoin space intensifies, Tether’s gold strategy may offer it a unique edge in terms of trust, resilience, and investor confidence.
