VCI Global Launches Strategic Gold Treasury Program Integrating Physical Gold and Tether Gold

About this update from Vci Global Limited

Company Advances Long-Term Treasury Diversification Strategy Through Physical Gold Reserves and Gold-Linked Digital Assets KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG) (“VCI Global” or the “Company”), today announced the launch of its Strategic Gold Treasury Program, a long-term treasury framework and capital allocation initiative designed to integrate physical gold holdings and gold-linked digital reserve assets into the Company’s broader treasury and platform strategy. The program is positioned as part of the Company’s broader initiative to enhance treasury optionality, strengthen balance sheet flexibility, and evaluate emerging reserve asset structures within the evolving real-world asset (“RWA”) and digital asset landscape. As part of the program, the Company intends to establish a diversified reserve structure comprising physical gold holdings and Tether Gold (“XAUT”), a gold-backed digital asset issued by Tether. According to publicly available market data from CoinGecko, Tether is the issuer of USDT, which is widely reported to be the largest stablecoin by market capitalization and circulation. Tether Gold (“XAUT”) is a gold-backed digital asset issued within the Tether ecosystem. Based on issuer disclosures and periodic attestation reports, XAUT is designed to represent ownership of physical gold held in custody arrangements backed by allocated gold reserves. VCI Global believes that the convergence of traditional reserve assets and blockchain-based financial infrastructure represents an emerging area of institutional treasury evolution, particularly in the context of diversification, liquidity management, and alternative reserve frameworks. The Strategic Gold Treasury Program is expected to serve as a foundational component of the Company’s evolving treasury architecture. Implementation, if any, is expected to be phased and conditional, subject to market conditions, financing considerations, operational readiness, and applicable regulatory requirements. In parallel, the Company may evaluate structured treasury and financing approaches leveraging reserve-linked assets as part of broader strategic initiatives, including potential exposure to gold-related opportunities, RWA infrastructure development, and long-duration capital deployment strategies.
