Tether Backs Neura Robotics in €1 Billion Funding Round Amid Growing Interest in AI-Powered Automation
Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, is in advanced discussions to lead a €1 billion funding round for Neura Robotics, a German startup specializing in AI-powered humanoid robots, according to reports citing unnamed sources. If finalized, the investment would value Neura Robotics at €8–10 billion, a significant jump from its January 2025 funding round, which raised €120 million.
Neura Robotics aims to produce 5 million humanoid robots by 2030, targeting industrial applications with plans to expand into consumer markets. The company has already secured €1 billion in pre-orders, underscoring strong demand for its technology. Its flagship product focuses on automating complex tasks, positioning the firm as a contender in the rapidly evolving robotics sector.
Tether’s investment aligns with its broader strategy to diversify beyond its core stablecoin operations. The company has allocated billions to frontier technologies, including agriculture, biotech, and digital media, while generating over $10 billion in profit through treasury reserves and strategic assets like U.S. Treasuries, gold, and Bitcoin.
The robotics deal reflects a broader industry trend, as tech giants and startups vie to commercialize AI-driven automation. Companies like Tesla, Nvidia, and SoftBank are also advancing humanoid robot projects, with Tesla aiming to produce 1 million units by 2030. Analysts note that the sector’s potential—estimated as a multitrillion-dollar opportunity—has intensified competition for market share.
Tether has not officially confirmed the talks but stated it is "actively exploring" numerous opportunities to continue investing in frontier tech. Neura Robotics did not respond to requests for comment.
As the deal progresses, investors will closely monitor how Tether’s capital accelerates Neura’s production goals and whether the investment signals a long-term shift in stablecoin firms’ strategic priorities.
