SAEDNEWS: Tether is investing $1.15 billion in Neura, potentially valuing the German robotics company at $11.6 billion. After expanding from crypto to AI and energy, Tether now sets its sights on global automation.
According to the cryptocurrency section of Saed News, citing Crypto Daily, reports indicate that Tether, the major issuer of the USDT stablecoin, is exploring a $1.15 billion investment in German robotics startup Neura. The Financial Times reports that the deal could value Neura between $9.3 billion and $11.6 billion. However, neither party has confirmed that the agreement has reached a final stage.
If completed, this investment would join the list of 140 companies Tether has invested in to date. In recent years, Tether has expanded its activities beyond Bitcoin mining to include artificial intelligence, energy, finance, and even football teams. Neura aims to develop a new generation of robots for smarter automation—robots capable of managing tasks ranging from industrial production lines to household chores. The company plans to produce around 5 million robots by 2030.
In its Q3 2025 report, Tether recorded over $10 billion in net profit. Following $13.4 billion in profit in 2024, the company is considered one of the most profitable businesses globally relative to its workforce. Most of Tether’s revenue comes from U.S. Treasury yields, which back the USDT stablecoin with a market value of $184 billion.
Tether has recently ventured into commodity lending, investing approximately $1.5 billion in the agriculture and oil sectors. Meanwhile, its Tether Gold token (XAUT) has seen a 70% market value increase over the past three months, surpassing $2.1 billion.
