Inside Tether's $5B Investment Strategy: From U.S. Tech to Bitcoin Mining

Tether, the issuer behind the world's largest stablecoin USDT, has revealed major details about how it has been deploying its profits—and the numbers are turning heads.

Inside Tether's $5B Investment Strategy: From U.S. Tech to Bitcoin Mining

Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, has revealed major details about how it has been deploying its profits—and the numbers are turning heads.

Over the past two years, Tether has invested approximately $5 billion into U.S.-based companies, signaling a deep and growing integration with the American economy.

As reported by CC[:] Chain, Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, shared insights into the company’s investment arm, Tether Evo.

According to a new report by CC[:] Chain, the company’s involvement in the U.S. economy is becoming increasingly evident. Over the past 24 months, Tether has invested around $5 billion in startups and corporations based in the United States.

This involvement began in early 2023 with a $775 million investment in video-sharing platform Rumble, acquiring over 103 million shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock.

Later in 2024, Tether became the majority shareholder in Blackrock Neurotech, a brain–computer interface company, following a $200 million investment.

These ventures indicate Tether’s desire to diversify beyond its core stablecoin business and back companies aligned with its vision of digital freedom and alternative infrastructure.

In the crypto mining sector, Tether has grown its influence steadily. It recently expanded its stake in Bitdeer, a major Bitcoin mining company, to 21%, establishing itself as one of the firm’s largest shareholders.

Furthermore, Tether is redirecting hash power from its mining activities to support the OCEAN mining pool, part of its efforts to decentralize BTC mining infrastructure.

Beyond venture capital and crypto infrastructure, Tether holds a staggering $120 billion exposure to U.S. Treasuries, making it the 19th-largest holder of U.S. debt globally.

This places the company ahead of major nations like Germany ($111.4B) and the United Arab Emirates ($104.4B), as per the latest Treasury holdings data from early August.

Ardoino highlighted this exposure as a signal of Tether’s confidence in and reliance on the U.S. economy. It also reinforces the idea that stablecoins like USDT are intricately linked to traditional financial systems, despite operating in the decentralized world of crypto.

In sum, Tether’s investments reveal a broad and strategic approach — backing both emerging tech and legacy financial instruments — as it cements its role as a powerhouse within both the digital and traditional economic ecosystems.

“We are now pivoting a portion of the hash-rate to support the OCEAN mining pool as part of our broader effort to decentralize BTC mining infrastructure,” Ardoino added.

As of August, the company's U.S. Treasury holdings amounted to $120 billion, making it the 19th-largest holder of U.S. debt globally.

This places Tether ahead of major nations like Germany, which holds $111.4 billion, and the United Arab Emirates, with $104.4 billion in U.S. debt.

“This level of exposure to the U.S. economy showcases Tether’s deep confidence in and reliance on the American financial system,” Ardoino noted.

Ultimately, Tether’s investments reflect a company that is not afraid to make bold moves and take on new challenges. It is a company that is constantly innovating and searching for new ways to expand its empire.

And as Tether continues to grow and evolve, it will be interesting to see what new investments the company makes and how it impacts the broader economic and technological landscape.
