Insights

Corporate Treasury Analyst

Aurelion buys $134 million of Tether Gold and closes $150 million financing; governance and execution are the key variables.

Aurelion converted cash into a tokenized-gold position by purchasing $134 million of Tether Gold (XAU₮) at an average price of $4,021.81 per XAU₮, and plans a corporate rename to Aurelion Inc. The company also closed a financing round of about $150 million, consisting of roughly $100 million in PIPE proceeds and a $50 million, three-year senior debt facility; Antalpha invested $43 million of the PIPE and now holds a controlling voting interest.

The business mechanism ties a public company balance sheet to a tokenized commodity, enabling on-chain verification and potential yield via a strategic lending partner. This structure centralizes custody, reporting, and financing choices under the company and its controlling shareholder, so operational controls, custody arrangements, and counterparty risk are material dependencies to monitor.

Primary risks include governance concentration after the controlling stake transfer, the commitments embedded in the $50 million three-year senior debt facility, and the operational readiness to deliver the promised daily on-chain verification and yield programs. Watch for disclosures of custody counterparties, audit or attestation reports for XAU₮ reserves, details of the debt covenants, and any shareholder-approval outcomes on or before Q4 2025 that affect the rename or governance; these items will clarify execution and timing within a short-term horizon.
