BlockBeats News, January 27th: Stablecoin issuer Tether announced that it had increased its gold reserves by about 27 metric tons in the fourth quarter of 2025, almost in line with analysts' estimated purchase of 26 tons in the third quarter.

Its third-quarter publicly disclosed USDT stablecoin reserve audit report showed that as of the end of September, Tether held gold reserves valued at around $12.9 billion, equivalent to approximately 104 metric tons of gold at the market price at that time. The current circulation of USDT is about $187 billion, with its reserves still mainly in U.S. Treasury bonds, with gold accounting for about 7%.

Tether has now entered the ranks of the top 30 gold holders globally, surpassing countries such as Greece, Qatar, and Australia.
