According to information disclosed on Tether's official website, its investments reach across various global sectors, including companies such as South American agricultural giant Adecoagro, cryptocurrency mining company Bitdeer, brain-machine interface technology company Blackrock Neurotech, Italian football club Juventus, video platform Rumble, German AI company Northern Data, Bitcoin financial firm Twenty One Capital, and Taiwanese cryptocurrency exchange XREX. Regarding its investment philosophy, Tether states: At Tether, we invest in transformative companies, visionary teams, and groundbreaking technologies that support decentralization and personal sovereignty. Our focus encompasses key areas, including payment infrastructure, renewable energy, Bitcoin, agriculture, artificial intelligence, and tokenization. Our capital is not just financial support; it is a catalyst for change. We support projects that reduce reliance on centralized systems, promote privacy protection, and empower individuals globally. Through strategic investments and partnerships, we actively shape a more resilient and equitable world. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that Ardoino revealed in interactions with netizens that Juventus is his favorite football club, and this investment carries a strong personal sentiment. Finally, Ardoino emphasized that the funds for these investments all come from Tether's remarkable profits (which reached $13.7 billion in 2024) and do not utilize USDT or other stablecoin reserves, operating independently within Tether's investment division. Tether will issue a US-exclusive stablecoin. Furthermore, Ardoino recently stated in an interview with Decrypt that Tether will make every effort to ensure that its flagship stablecoin USDT complies with the strict regulations set by the US GENIUS Act for foreign stablecoin issuers to ensure legal trading in the US market. He said: 'We will work very hard to ensure compliance with the foreign issuer pathway in the GENIUS Act; it’s crazy that some people think Tether will not comply.' Additionally, in April this year, Ardoino mentioned that Tether was considering launching a stablecoin designed specifically for the US market to better meet US regulatory requirements. Now he reiterates that Tether not only plans for USDT to pass the GENIUS Act review but will also launch a US-exclusive stablecoin, with both products targeting different customer groups and uses. For example, USDT may primarily be used for overseas remittances in the US, meeting the needs of many expatriates who work in the US while having families abroad.
