For many years, the stablecoin giant Tether has imposed a problematic lack of transparency regarding the management of its reserves, intended to guarantee the solidity of its USDT stablecoin. A situation which visibly changed last August, with the announcement of a complete and independent audit carried out by KPMG.

However, another reality also remains complex to understand regarding its numerous participations in American companies listed on the stock exchange. A nebula that the crypto media Protos decided to dissect based on the regulatory documents filed in the United States.

According to details of the official documents analyzed, Tether currently holds the equivalent of “$4.8 billion in exposure to US equity markets through 13 US-listed companies”, largely financed by its profits and excess equity.

A diversification that includes the controversial streaming video platform Rumble, royalties on gold mines, Bitcoin mining, satellites and a treasury in BTC, with results that can be described as disappointing.

The first link mentioned by Protos concerns the Rumble streaming platform, very close to the Trump family, 50.3% owned by Tether (including subscription warrants). Despite everything, it only has 9.9% of the voting rights. A stake increased to 48.7% last June following the acquisition of Northern Data by Rumble from Tether.

Next comes the Bitcoin treasury company Twenty One Capital (XXI) of which Tether and Bitfinex became majority shareholders by providing the BTC necessary for its launch. Since its IPO, its stock has lost 53% of its value, while “the market values ​​the company significantly less than the bitcoins it holds”.

Next, Tether holds stakes in several companies that own precious metal mining royalties, including Elemental Royalty (27%), Versamet Royalties (12.6%), Metalla (14.6%), and Gold Royalty (14.4%). In addition, Tether owns more than 13% of Gold.com, with which it maintains significant commercial ties: activities carried out with Tether represented $1.2 billion in revenue for Gold.com in fiscal 2026, and more than 25% of its revenue for the last quarter.

As for its digital gold

Then comes Bitcoin mining, via the company Bitdeer of which Tether holds 19.7% as part of a strategy in constant movement. In addition, it also owns a majority share in the agricultural conglomerate Adecoagro with which it has carried out BTC mining pilot projects. The price of these two shares remains fairly stable.

Finally, Tether holds some marginal positions in the space company dedicated to satellites Satellogic, the treasury company Stablecoin Development Corp based on the SKY token, whose action has lost 99% of its value since its arrival, and finally VCI Global (VCIG), of which Tether became a shareholder indirectly, via its participation in the payments company Oobit. VCI Global stock has lost more than 99% since November 2025.
