Key Terms

stablecoin, volume weighted average price, registration rights, gold leasing facility

4 terms

stablecoin financial

"Tether’s XAU₮ stablecoin COSTA MESA, Calif., Feb. 05, 2026 -- Gold.com..."

A stablecoin is a type of digital currency designed to keep its value steady, often by being backed by traditional assets like money or commodities. For investors, stablecoins offer a reliable way to move money quickly across digital platforms without the value fluctuations common with other cryptocurrencies, making them useful for saving, trading, or transferring funds with less risk of sudden losses.

volume weighted average price technical

"This price represents an 11.9% discount to the 10-day volume weighted average price..."

The volume weighted average price (VWAP) is a way to measure the average price of a security, such as a stock, over a specific period, taking into account how many units were traded at each price. It’s similar to calculating the average cost of items bought when some are more frequently purchased than others. Investors use VWAP to assess whether a security is being bought or sold at a fair price during trading.

registration rights regulatory

"The Common Shares will be subject to customary registration rights and a 90-day resale restriction."

Registration rights are contractual promises that let investors require a company to file paperwork with securities regulators so those investors can sell their shares to the public. They matter because they create a path to liquidity and an exit plan—without them, investors may be stuck holding shares for a long time. Think of them like a reserved ticket that guarantees access to a public marketplace when the holder is ready to sell.

gold leasing facility financial

"Tether will provide Gold.com with a gold leasing facility of no less than $100.0 million;"

A gold leasing facility is an arrangement where an owner of physical gold (often a bank or central bank) lends bullion to another party for a fee and a set period, rather than selling it outright. For investors it matters because leased gold increases short-term supply and can lower borrowing or hedging costs, influencing gold prices and the returns or risks of holdings that depend on physical metal availability, much like renting equipment instead of buying it.

(NYSE: GOLD) (“Gold.com” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated alternative assets platform offering an extensive range of precious metals, numismatic coins, and collectibles, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement with TPM, S.A. de C.V., (“Tether”), whereby Tether is purchasing $150 million (the “Investment”) of Gold.com’s common shares (the “Common Shares”). Tether is one of the largest known private owners of gold globally and sponsors the largest dollar-backed stablecoin (USDT) and the largest gold-backed stablecoin (XAUT) - in each case in terms of market capitalization – as well as the U.S.-regulated stablecoin USAT.

Gold.com and Tether also intend to enter into certain additional mutually beneficial commercial agreements as further detailed below.

Tether has agreed to purchase approximately $125 million worth of Common Shares and will purchase an additional approximately $25 million worth of Common Shares following receipt of certain regulatory approvals. In total, Tether is acquiring 3.371 million Common Shares at an issue price of $44.50.

As a result of Tether’s investment in Gold.com, Tether is entitled to nominate a member to the board of directors of the Company.

The Investment establishes a strategic partnership designed to bridge physical precious metals and digital finance. By combining Gold.com’s end-to-end gold infrastructure with Tether’s global stablecoin platform, the parties aim to create a vertically integrated gold ecosystem. The collaboration is expected to enhance the credibility and distribution of Tether’s gold-backed XAU₮ stablecoin, expand Gold.com’s retail and digital offerings, introduce gold leasing solutions, and drive increased consumer and institutional engagement across both platforms.

Gold.com and Tether have agreed in good faith to use reasonable commercial efforts to enter into certain commercial agreements, subject to due diligence and regulatory compliance, including the following: Tether will provide Gold.com with a gold leasing facility of no less than $100.0 million; Gold.com will reasonably accommodate accepting Tether stablecoins (USDT and/or USAT) as payment, including allowing for certain promotional activities; and Gold.com will reasonably promote Tether stablecoins (USDT and/or USAT) on its websites and such other mutually agreed upon activities that will help support Tether stablecoins (including USDT, USAT, XAUT, etc.)

The Company has agreed to invest $20 million of the proceeds raised from the Investment in Tether’s XAU₮ stablecoin.

“Tether’s investment in Gold.com validates our strategy to be the vertically integrated leader in physical bullion and to offer the industry’s most comprehensive precious metals platform,” said Greg Roberts, CEO of Gold.com. “The investment builds upon Gold.com’s 60+ year legacy and expands our reach beyond traditional bullion into digital gold and stablecoins. The proceeds from this transaction will provide Gold.com with increased funding and flexibility to strengthen our business by further developing our portfolio of category-leading brands. We look forward to Tether’s continued support and to partnering with their team going forward to potentially develop additional innovative and mutually beneficial commercial opportunities.”
