Bitcoin and gold, alongside silver, continues to show a high value proposition.
CEO of Tether, Paolo Ardoino, makes an impressive revelation at Bitcoin 2025. To highlight, Tether announces it owns over 100,000 Bitcoin and more than 50 tons of gold. Recognized as the largest stablecoin issuer in the world, and possibly the most profitable organization in all of crypto, Tether's revealing its holdings is a major boost to the philosophy and vision of Bitcoin (BTC).
Tether Announces it Owns Over 100,000 Bitcoin
The popular stablecoin issuer Tether (USDT), also seen as the most profitable company in the crypto industry, reveals that it has large holdings in both gold and digital gold, Bitcoin (BTC). In detail, Tether CEO, Paolo Ardoino, reveals that Tether, as a company, owns over 100,000 BTC and more than 50 tons of gold. Indeed, the company is stockpiling millions of dollars worth of these promising assets.

This revelation was made in a sleek presentation on stage at the Bitcoin 2025 event in Las Vegas. To specify, Ardoino presented a slide showing how Tether, the world’s largest issuer of US dollar-pegged stablecoins, USDT (Tether), holds over 100,000 Bitcoin at the moment. This amount is roughly worth $10 billion. The company also reveals that it is holding over 50 tons of gold.
Continuing with the slide, Ardoino also confirms how Tether generated a profit of approximately $13 billion in 2024. This confirms why the company is considered the most fiscally successful firm in the crypto sector. Furthermore, the fact that Tether has accumulated gold is another layer of value and financial security that gives the company an even further boost.
Ardoino justifies the company’s gold accumulation alongside Bitcoin by saying that holding gold is also holding value. He tells Bitcoin enthusiasts that Bitcoin is perfect while gold is imperfect. According to him, gold does not take anything away from Bitcoin, as gold is competing with fiat and not Bitcoin. Thus, he believes that holding a little bit of gold would help as well, and does not hinder BTC accumulation in any way.
Promise of Gold and Digital Gold BTC
This holds true in the eyes of other reputed crypto analysts, economic experts, and financial leaders as well. For instance, Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has repeatedly mentioned that Bitcoin, gold, and silver, are the only real assets and has vehemently urged the masses to stockpile these assets, especially Bitcoin, as all assets are set to explode in value in the coming days and months ahead.
Ultimately, it looks like all popular companies are stockpiling promising assets, especially Bitcoin. This will eventually lead to a Bitcoin supply shock, as most analysts have been warning since the start of this bull run. With the majority of BTC already mined, Bitcoin will continue to be a highly limited resource.
