Tether lays out a $14 billion investment blueprint focusing on AI, payments, and Bitcoin mining

[Coin World] Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino recently disclosed the company’s $14 billion investment layout, covering diverse fields such as AI, agriculture, energy, and brain-computer interfaces. As the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, Tether will focus on investing in payment infrastructure in Africa and South America, having deployed 500 solar-powered financial service kiosks, with plans to expand to 100,000 by 2030. In the AI sector, the company has invested in Northern Data, which has 24,000 H100 GPUs, and is developing a decentralized AI platform called CUAC. In addition, Tether holds 100,000 Bitcoins and is expected to become the world’s largest Bitcoin miner by the end of the year. Ardoino emphasized the advantages of the company remaining private, allowing it to make ultra-long-term investments, including the development of open-source brain-computer interface systems. He proposed a “Four Stabilization” strategy: stable currency, communication, intelligence, and energy, which he believes is the foundation of social stability. In the stablecoin business, Tether is developing an open-source wallet development tool (WDK) and plans to launch a multi-link routing algorithm to automatically select the optimal blockchain network for users.
