The holding structure controls 65.4% of the club’s share capital. Tether’s offer involves a cash-only transaction.

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

Tether holds a 10% stake in Juventus. The company cited “deep admiration and respect” as the reason for its interest in the club.

“Juventus is a symbol of Italian excellence with a truly global presence, built over generations through hard work, ambition, and unwavering fan loyalty. These values reflect how we build Tether: with patience, independence, and a focus on long-term sustainability,” the company stated.

Should the acquisition proceed, Tether is prepared to invest €1 billion in the club’s support and development. The firm emphasized its strong financial position, noting a net profit of over $10 billion in the first nine months of 2025. 

Tether to Tokenize Shares After Raising $20 Billion

In its pursuit to raise $20 billion, Tether is exploring ways to provide liquidity for investors. Options include share buybacks and blockchain digitization, according to Bloomberg.

According to the agency, discussions began after the firm blocked an existing shareholder from selling a stake at a significant discount. The amount involved was $1 billion, implying a valuation of Tether at $280 billion.

The stablecoin issuer anticipates that raising $20 billion by selling 3% of its shares will boost its market capitalization to $500 billion. This would place Tether among the world’s most valuable private companies, alongside OpenAI and SpaceX.

Reports indicate potential participants in the round include Japan’s SoftBank and Cathie Wood’s Ark Investment. Tether does not plan to allow current investors to sell their stakes as part of the fundraising. 

“It would be unwise and even reckless for any investor to attempt to circumvent the established process, conducted by the world’s leading investment banks, or to engage with parties not authorized by Tether’s management,” commented a company representative.

Tokenizing shares could enhance their liquidity, simplifying transfer, division, and borrowing.

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