Tether is in advanced talks to invest around €1 billion in German humanoid-robotics firm Neura Robotics, according to recent reports. 

The move signals one of the clearest shifts yet in Tether’s strategy as the world’s largest stablecoin issuer pushes beyond USDT and into high-technology sectors.

Tethers Is Betting Big On AI Robotics

The proposed investment would value Neura between €8 billion and €10 billion. 

However, the scale of the talks underscores a broader pattern. Tether has spent the past year diversifying into AI infrastructure, robotics, and real-world technology. 

Earlier this year, the company secured access to a 20,000-GPU compute network to build its AI research environment. It also explored major exposure to Neura’s cognitive-robotics platform, which includes humanoid systems designed for industrial and commercial work.

At the same time, Tether has expanded through financial-market partnerships. Its “Hadron by Tether” platform signed agreements with KraneShares and Bitfinex Securities to accelerate tokenized securities adoption. 

The company also deepened its presence in public-sector digital infrastructure through a collaboration with Da Nang city in Vietnam.

These moves come as Tether’s reserves grow. The company reported more than $135 billion in US Treasury exposure and expects record profits this year, giving it unusually large liquidity for private-market deals. 

That financial capacity appears to be funding its push into AI, robotics, and digital-governance technology.

Yet questions remain. Neither Tether nor Neura has confirmed the final size or structure of the investment. 

Analysts note that mass-producing humanoid robots carries technical and supply-chain risk, and the projected valuation depends on Neura scaling production quickly.

Still, Tether’s direction is clear. The firm is moving from a stablecoin-only business to a broader technology investor, tying its future to sectors far beyond digital assets.
