Tether Investments Announces Strategic Minority Stake in Juventus Football Club

14 February 2025  – Tether, the largest company in the digital asset industry, announced that it has acquired a minority stake in Juventus Football Club S.p.A. (“Juve”), one of the most successful and iconic football clubs in the world.

This investment marks a significant milestone for Tether.  Following the unveiling of its long-term strategic vision, which spans from leading the digital asset industry with USDt, the most used stablecoin in the world with a market capitalization of more than 140 billion USD and more than 400 million users across emerging markets, to acquiring and developing leading companies in the Artificial Intelligence (“AI”), bitcoin mining and biotech spaces, Tether is now uniquely positioned to integrate its futuristic portfolio into the realms of the sports industry.

While blockchain technology has featured prominently in professional sports with a view to enhancing the fan experience, Tether’s acquisition of a minority ownership stake in Juve is looking forward to delivering a sports-digital asset synergy at a new level. Drawing from its investment arm (which sits outside of the stablecoin reserves), Tether is looking at its strategic investments in sports franchises worldwide and integrating its digital assets, payments, and newly acquired AI and biotech expertise into the sports industry and assembling a top-tier advisory team for this initiative. In particular, Tether is collaborating with leading figures such as Juan Sartori, given his involvement with Sunderland AFC, extensive tenure at AS Monaco Football Club, and the European Club Association.

This acquisition also marks a significant milestone in Tether’s goal of integrating stablecoins, digital assets, and human-first technology into everyday life. This builds on Tether’s previous initiatives with professional sports clubs. Last year, Plan ₿, an initiative founded by Tether and the City of Lugano, announced its official sole kit sponsorship of FC Lugano, a professional football club that competes in the Swiss Super League. This sponsorship, coupled with Tether’s minority stake in Juve, also underscores Tether’s dedication to promoting blockchain technology and stablecoin adoption in mainstream sectors such as the sports industry.

“Aligned with our strategic investment in Juve, Tether will be a pioneer in merging new technologies, such as digital assets, AI, and biotech, with the well-established sports industry to drive change globally. We will explore avenues for innovative collaborations and the potential to revolutionize the global sports landscape.” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.
