- Tether has invested $5 billion into U.S. tech, Bitcoin mining, and infrastructure to boost American innovation.
- CEO Paolo Ardoino calls it a “pro-America” strategy, earning praise from industry leaders like Anthony Pompliano.
Tether, the issuer behind the world’s most-used stablecoin USDT, is doubling down on the United States economy. In a bold move that’s raising eyebrows and winning praise, the company has reinvested a staggering $5 billion of its profits over the past two years into American tech firms, energy infrastructure, and U.S. Treasury bonds.
The announcement came directly from CEO Paolo Ardoino, who shared details via social media. “In the last 2 years, Tether Group reinvested almost $5 billion within the United States economy and into U.S.-based companies,” Ardoino posted, citing names like video-sharing platform Rumble, neural interface innovator Blackrock Neurotech, and a range of Bitcoin mining ventures.

One of the headline moves includes Tether’s $775 million stake in Rumble, a platform seen as an alternative to YouTube. Through its venture arm, Tether Evo, the company also took a majority stake in Blackrock Neurotech by investing $200 million into the brain-computer interface startup.
This aggressive investment strategy has earned Tether accolades from influential voices in the crypto community. Bitcoin advocate Anthony Pompliano praised the company, calling it “one of the most important pro-America companies in the world.”
Beyond tech, Tether is also cementing its position as a major global financial player. The firm now holds over $120 billion in U.S. Treasury securities—surpassing even Germany’s holdings—and is reportedly the 19th-largest holder globally. These assets serve as critical backing for USDT, reinforcing its dollar peg and market credibility.
However, this level of influence hasn’t come without controversy. Despite handling $2.09 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 and issuing another $1 billion in USDT on the Tron network, Tether continues to face scrutiny. Critics have repeatedly called for greater transparency around its reserves and expressed concerns over illicit use of the stablecoin.
In response, Tether insists it actively collaborates with law enforcement to combat misuse and says its growing reliance on respected U.S. institutions like Cantor Fitzgerald is part of a broader effort to align with regulatory expectations.
Whether Tether’s “pro-America” strategy will silence critics or intensify scrutiny remains to be seen—but one thing’s clear: Tether is no longer just a crypto company; it’s a key player in U.S. economic influence.
