Tether is reportedly in discussions to invest $1.15 billion in Neura Robotics, a German startup developing humanoid robots. The Financial Times reported on Friday that the deal could value Neura between $9.3 billion and $11.6 billion.
The potential investment represents Tether’s continued expansion beyond its core stablecoin business. The company already backs 140 companies across various sectors including Bitcoin mining, artificial intelligence, energy, finance, and even football teams.
Neura Robotics focuses on developing robots for “smarter automation” in both industrial and household settings. The company plans to produce 5 million robots by 2030.
These robots are designed to assist humans and AI systems with manufacturing production and business operations. The company also aims to expand into home robotics for household tasks.
Neither Tether nor Neura has confirmed whether the 1 billion euro deal is finalized. Sources with direct knowledge of the matter told the Financial Times that discussions are ongoing.
Tether’s Financial Position
Tether has emerged as one of the most profitable companies globally on a per-employee basis. The company reported net profits exceeding $10 billion through the first three quarters of 2025.
This follows a successful 2024 where Tether earned $13.4 billion in profit. The company primarily generates revenue from interest on US Treasury bills that back its USDT stablecoin.
USDT currently has a market capitalization of approximately $184 billion. The stablecoin remains the largest dollar-pegged digital asset by supply in the cryptocurrency market.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has shown particular interest in artificial intelligence and robotics. The company has established an internal team working on open-source, peer-to-peer machine learning technology called Tether AI.
The company has also expanded into commodity-trade lending. Ardoino told Bloomberg last week that Tether has deployed about $1.5 billion into this sector.
Competition and Market Context
Neura will compete directly with Tesla in the robotics space. Elon Musk’s company is planning to mass-produce its own humanoid robots.
In January, Neura raised nearly $140 million in a funding round. Investors included BlueCrest, C4 Ventures, Lingotto, and Volvo Cars Tech Fund.
The German startup aims to create an “iPhone moment” for robotics. Initial plans focus on industrial customers before expanding to consumer home robots.
Tether has also tokenized gold through its Tether Gold (XAUT) product. This asset has seen its market cap increase 70% to over $2.1 billion in the past three months.
Reports from late September suggested Tether was exploring a $20 billion fundraising round that could value the company at $500 billion.
