Tether Gold Market Cap Surpasses $3.3 Billion, Gold Reserves Up 36% in Q1

Tether’s official data reveals that Tether Gold (XAUT) continued its expansion in Q1 2026, with its total market capitalization surpassing $3.3 billion—driven by record-high gold prices and heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, which significantly increased investor demand for safe-haven assets. Tether’s quarterly data shows that its underlying gold reserves grew 36% quarter-on-quarter, reaching approximately 707,747 troy ounces as of March 31, fully backing the circulating XAU₮ tokens on a 1:1 basis with physical gold and supporting a total market capitalization of approximately $3.303 billion. Compared to roughly 520,000 troy ounces of gold reserves at the end of 2025, this quarter’s substantial increase in gold holdings reflects sustained capital inflows into digitized physical gold products.
