"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," said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino in a statement.
The acquisition comes after Tether reported $13 billion in profits last year, and expanded beyond its core stablecoin business with investments in artificial intelligence, payments and energy companies.
