Tether стремится стать полноправным владельцем легенды итальянского футбола «Ювентус» Translation: Tether aims to become the full owner of the Italian football legend Juventus.

Tether has made a formal offer to purchase a controlling stake in the Italian football club Juventus from its owner, Exor.

The holding company currently owns 65.4% of the club’s equity. Tether’s proposal outlines a complete cash transaction.

If an agreement is reached, the issuer of USDT plans to buy out all remaining shares.

Tether owns a 10% stake in Juventus. The company’s interest in the club is described as stemming from a «deep admiration and respect.»

«Juventus stands as a symbol of Italian excellence, with a truly global presence, cultivated over generations through hard work, ambition, and unwavering support from fans. These values are mirrored in how we build Tether: with patience, independence, and a focus on long-term sustainability,” the company stated.

In the event of acquiring the club, Tether is prepared to invest €1 billion in its support and growth. The firm emphasized its strong financial position, reporting that its net profit exceeded $10 billion in the first nine months of 2025.

As part of its goal to raise $20 billion, Tether is exploring ways to ensure liquidity for investors. Possible options include a share buyback and blockchain digitization, according to Bloomberg.

The agency noted that discussions on these steps began after the company restricted one existing shareholder from selling their stake at a significant discount, which was estimated at $1 billion, implying a Tether valuation of $280 billion.

The stablecoin issuer believes that raising $20 billion through the sale of 3% of its shares could boost its market capitalization to $500 billion, placing Tether among the most valuable private companies globally, alongside OpenAI and SpaceX.

Reportedly, potential participants in this funding round include the Japanese holding company SoftBank and Ark Investment’s Cathie Wood. Tether does not plan to allow current investors to sell their shares during this fundraising effort.

«Any investor attempting to circumvent the established process managed by leading global investment banks or contacting unauthorized parties would be seen as unwise and even reckless,” a company representative commented.

Tokenizing shares could enhance their liquidity, facilitating easier transfer, fractional ownership, and borrowing.

Recently, Bitwise suggested that Tether might surpass Saudi Aramco in value and become the most profitable company in history.
