According to Reuters, Tether’s gold-buying spree in the fourth quarter of 2025 was just slightly more extravagant than its third-quarter haul of 26 tons. Because, you know, why stop at 26 when you can go for 27? It’s like ordering a pizza with 7 toppings and then realizing you could’ve had 8. Poland’s central bank, the leading global gold hoarder, only managed 35 tons in the same period. Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino quipped, “We are operating at a scale that now places the Tether Gold Investment Fund alongside sovereign gold holders, and that carries real responsibility.” Yes, Paolo, the responsibility of explaining why you’re stockpiling gold like it’s the end of the world.
