Tether Considers $1.15 Billion Investment in Humanoid Robotics Startup Neura
Tether, the stablecoin issuer behind USDT, is in advanced talks to invest $1.15 billion in Neura Robotics, a German startup specializing in humanoid robots for industrial and domestic applications. The deal WOULD value Neura between $9.3 billion and $11.6 billion, marking one of the largest private investments in robotics this decade.
Neura aims to produce 5 million units by 2030, targeting both manufacturing automation and consumer markets. The company recently secured $140 million in January 2025 from investors including BlueCrest and Volvo Cars Tech Fund.
Tether's potential investment underscores its aggressive diversification strategy. The stablecoin giant generated over $10 billion in profit during the first three quarters of 2025 primarily through US Treasury holdings backing USDT. It currently supports 140 companies across AI, energy, Bitcoin mining, and commodity sectors.
