Tether Centralizes Finance in London as It Pivots to Investment Group

The company is funding expansion from retained profits after trimming a proposed multibillion raise.

Overview

  • Tether now oversees roughly 140 investments spanning AI, commodities and sports, including a reported stake in Juventus.
  • Circulating USDT stands near $185–187 billion, providing the revenue base that supports the firm’s diversification.
  • A previously floated $15–20 billion raise met investor resistance, and the company is now weighing a round closer to $5 billion.
  • Finance and operations have been consolidated in London under CFO Simon McWilliams to strengthen governance and reporting.
  • Hiring will grow by about 150 roles on top of a roughly 300-person staff as calls persist for independent audits beyond quarterly attestations.
