Bitcoin and physical gold as a "dual pillar strategy."
Tether produces USDT, which is the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and usually the digital asset that is traded the most. Its primary cryptocurrency offering is a stablecoin, which is a digital token that is tied to the US dollar's value and operates on several cryptocurrency platforms.
The company maintains the value of its digital tokens in accordance with the dollar by storing a vault of dollar reserves. The USDT, as a stablecoin, was formerly only utilized by cryptocurrency traders looking to execute transactions quickly without the use of a conventional bank. However, Tether claims that USDT is now also utilized by individuals in developing markets with unstable currencies who wish to gain exposure to U.S. dollars.
Tether has also claimed to possess almost 80 tons of physical gold and more than 100,000 BTC valued at $10.7 billion. Ardoino stated that having gold in a portfolio was a smart move last month during the Bitcoin 2025 conference.
