This accumulation is part of a diversification strategy to enhance the stability of its stablecoin, USDT, and strengthen its overall security.<\/p>\n<p>So let me simplyify.\u00a0 US debt is represented by an IOU (Treasuries) which Tether now buys and the yield or interest is used to buy gold. So when the long term Treasury is mature its value will be worthless (due to inflation) but the yield would have been siphoned off to buy gold.\u00a0 So they are swapping debt for gold. Genius!
