Tether Owns Over 100,000 Bitcoin and 50 Tons of Gold
Tether's revelation of over 100,000 Bitcoin and 50 tons of gold reflects a strategic financial fortification. Paolo Ardoino highlighted these holdings during his presentation at the Bitcoin 2025 conference. This move indicates Tether’s growing influence in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Ardoino emphasized that while Bitcoin remains paramount, gold serves as a hedge against fiat currencies rather than a competitor to digital assets. This strategy places Tether among the top institutional Bitcoin holders. Paolo Ardoino, CEO, Tether, stated, "Many bitcoiners don't like talking about gold as if gold would take away something from Bitcoin. There is no way. Bitcoin is perfect. Gold is imperfect. Gold is not competing with bitcoin; gold is competing with fiat and that's why we like a little bit of gold."
