Tether bought 14 tonnes of gold in Q2 2026 to reach 146 tonnes worth $18.8 billion, the largest known private holding outside governments, after adding 53 tonnes from Q3 2025 through Q1 2026. Paolo Ardoino stressed scarce assets like Bitcoin and gold for resilience in uncertain markets while building the Stable Company for decades-long durability. Only Poland, Uzbekistan, China and Kazakhstan acquired more gold than Tether in the first half of 2026, doubling holdings and nearly tripling value since Q1 2025.
