Tether: Adds 6 Tons Gold to Reserves

Tether snapped up more than 6 tons of gold in the first quarter of 2026, pushing its total reserves to $19.8 billion worth or roughly 132 tons of bullion, a move that bolsters confidence in stablecoin gold backing as crypto markets grapple with Bitcoin volatility and reserve diversification demands. This buildup follows a string of asset shifts over the past year, where Tether has ramped up physical holdings to counter regulatory scrutiny and stabilize against BTC price swings, signaling deeper ties between traditional finance and digital assets in the Tether gold reserves update landscape.
