On February 5, 2026, Tether Investments announced a strategic investment of $150 million in Gold.com. The move hands Tether a 12% stake in the precious-metals platform and paves the way for the Tether-backed digital token, XAU₮, to waltz into Gold.com’s distribution networks.
Instead of the usual “you’re all broke and I’m not” applause, Kiyosaki got hit with a digital slap across the face. Ouch. But let’s dive into this mess, shall we?
