Tether, the issuer of the famous stablecoin USDT, has just overtaken Australia and the United Arab Emirates in terms of gold reserves. A historic shift that validates a strategy that we have always advocated: decentralized diversification. This is information that went under the radar of the general media, but which shook Wall Street this Sunday, February 9, 2026. According to a report from the investment bank Jefferies, Tether now holds $23 billion worth of physical gold. To give you an idea of the scale: it's more than 148 tons of yellow metal. This places a private crypto company in the top 30 worldwide, ahead of sovereign nations like South Korea, Qatar or Greece.

Why should this figure concern you?
If you are a thoughtful investor, you should view this figure not as just an anecdote, but as a major economic signal. Tether is not a speculator. It is the most liquid infrastructure in the crypto market. And what are they doing with their record profits (more than $10 billion in net profit in 2025)? They don't let them sit in a bank account. They buy: American debt ($141 billion in Treasury bonds). Physical Gold (around 32 tonnes purchased between the end of 2025 and January 2026 alone).
The message is clear: stablecoins make money! And the irony of this story is that Tether uses your moneyto make all its investments.
What banks don't tell you
Tether is doing on an industrial scale what every prudent investor should do: put capital to work to secure the future.
While your bank uses your deposits to generate returns that it keeps for itself (by only paying you crumbs in your savings accounts), Tether uses its cash to consolidate its position as a private “central bank”. Paolo Ardoino, the CEO of Tether, confirmed that he wanted to allocate up to 15% of its investment portfolio in gold. They diversify. They secure. They are looking for real returns. And you ? Most French savers are still experiencing: The erosion of their purchasing power by inflation. “Risk-free” returns that don’t even cover the rising cost of living. Total dependence on a slow and rigid banking system.
Copy the method, not just the asset
The objective is not necessarily to run out and buy bullion. The goal is to understand the mechanics. You don't have 148 tons of gold. But you have access to the same tools. The philosophy of Club 25% is based exactly on this institutional logic, but applied at the scale of an individual:
Using Stablecoins (like Tether's USDT) not to speculate, but to generate stable returns.
Aim for performance (15-25% per year) by removing unnecessary volatility.
Secure winnings by diversifying, just like Tether does with its wallet.
Tether proves that we can combine maximum security et profits records (10 billion!). They don't trade. They don't panic. They structure. This is exactly what we teach you to do: build a “Good Father” 3.0 strategy, which takes 1 hour per month to manage, and which puts your money to work with the same rigor as a financial giant.
Stop letting your bank decide your performance.
