Tether Eyes $1.15 Billion Investment in Neura Robotics

Stablecoin issuer Tether is reportedly eyeing a $1.15 billion investment in German robotics startup Neura Robotics. This move signifies Tether's ambition to expand its footprint in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence (AI) domain. The Financial Times, citing sources with direct knowledge of the matter, reported that the potential deal could value Neura in the range of $9.3 billion to $11.6 billion. While discussions are reportedly underway, neither Tether nor Neura have confirmed the ongoing negotiations.

Diversifying Investments: From Bitcoin Mining to Robotics

Should the deal materialize, Neura would join a portfolio of 140 companies already backed by Tether, as the company diversifies its investments from Bitcoin mining to areas such as AI, energy, finance, and even football teams. An investment in Neura would support the development of robotics for "smarter automation." Neura's robots aim to assist humans and AI across various tasks, from streamlining production in manufacturing sites and other business operations to performing household chores. The company plans to produce 5 million robots by 2030.

Strong Financial Performance and Commodity Trading Expansion

Tether's financial performance remains robust in 2025, with the company reporting net profits exceeding $10 billion in the first three quarters of the year, according to its Q3 attestation report. This follows a $13.4 billion profit in 2024, positioning Tether as one of the most profitable companies globally on a per-employee basis. The company primarily generates revenue from interest on US Treasury bills backing its Tether (USDT) stablecoin, which has a market capitalization of approximately $184 billion. Tether also confirmed its expansion into commodity-trade lending last week. CEO Paolo Ardoino told Bloomberg that the company has already deployed approximately $1.5 billion into the sector to gain exposure to agricultural products and oil.

Gold and Potential Valuation

Tether already offers a tokenized gold product, Tether Gold (XAUT), which has seen its market capitalization increase by 70% to over $2.1 billion in the past three months, driven by the strong performance of bullion. This development coincides with reports that Tether was exploring a $20 billion fundraising round in late September, which could potentially elevate its valuation to $500 billion, roughly on par with OpenAI.
