Tether reported a decline in its physical gold reserves during the third quarter, according to Kitco News, marking the first quarterly drop since the stablecoin issuer became a notable source of physical bullion demand last year. Jefferies analysts led by Fahad Tariq noted in a report published Tuesday that Tether's disclosed gold holdings fell by roughly three metric tons to 165 tons, down from 168 tons at the end of June, following purchases of about 14 tons in the second quarter.

According to Tether's latest reserve disclosures, gold backing its USDT stablecoin declined by 3.4 tons to 142.8 tons at the end of September, while bullion backing the XAUT token was unchanged at approximately 22 tons. Jefferies said it remains optimistic about Tether's long-term role in the gold market and does not regard a single quarter of modest selling as evidence of a change in the company's broader appetite for the metal, describing stablecoin reserve allocation and tokenized gold as emerging sources of institutional physical gold demand that are likely to fluctuate quarter to quarter.

The analysts noted that Tether's disclosed holdings have nearly doubled from approximately 90 tons in June 2025. They also pointed out that USDT supply was relatively unchanged in the third quarter, suggesting the reserve reduction was not driven by lower stablecoin issuance. Tether increased its Bitcoin and other investments during the period, though its disclosures did not indicate whether gold was sold to fund those purchases.

Although physical holdings declined, the value of gold backing USDT rose to $19.1 billion at the end of September from $18.8 billion in June, reflecting higher bullion prices. Gold represented about 10% of USDT reserves, while U.S. Treasury bills remained the largest reserve asset at roughly $123 billion. Tether reported $4.5 billion in net operating profit for the first nine months of 2026, including $1.5 billion in the third quarter, with much of the earnings generated from Treasury bills and reverse repurchase agreements.

Jefferies cautioned that its estimates may understate Tether's total physical gold exposure, explaining that the company's gold demand stems from USDT reserves, XAUT bullion and separate balance-sheet investments, with the private holdings not fully transparent. The analysts noted that CEO Paolo Ardoino has previously indicated an intention to allocate between 10% and 15% of the investment portfolio to physical gold, separate from token backing, and that no change to that strategy has been announced.

In a report published October 29, ahead of Tether's reserve disclosures, Societe Generale described the company as an increasingly important participant in the physical gold market, comparing its holdings with those of central banks and major gold-backed exchange-traded funds. The French bank characterized Tether as a hybrid institution combining central-bank and ETF characteristics, and noted its gold holdings grew at an annualized rate of approximately 31% since early 2023, versus 13.6% for gold-backed ETFs and 1.8% for central banks. Societe Generale estimated Tether was the fifth-largest net buyer of gold globally since 2023, accumulating 87.5 tons through June 2026.

The bank estimated that the 15 largest gold-backed cryptocurrency tokens represented more than $6 billion in market capitalization and approximately 45 tons of gold exposure in October, with trading volumes across these products exceeding $150 billion so far this year and surpassing the record set for all of 2025. It cautioned that digital gold remains a relatively small part of the broader market and could add volatility, noting that tokenized gold investors may hold for shorter periods than traditional investors, potentially amplifying selling pressure during corrections.
