Tether Makes Bold Move: Acquires 9.8% Stake in Latin American Agricultural Powerhouse 2

USDT issuer stablecoin firm acquired a significant amount of stakes in Adecoagro as part of the company’s portfolio diversification strategy.

Tether is a subsidiary of the popular Bitcoin exchange Bitfinex. Tether manages all the financial activities for the USDT stablecoin. Since its inception, despite high regulatory heat, USDT has been the top stablecoin in the crypto market due to its first-mover advantage.

Tether invested $100 million in Adecoagro and acquired 9.8% of its shares. This investment marks Tether’s diversification into a non-crypto sector. It’s worth noting that Adecoagro is a major milk producer in Argentina and manages over 193,000 hectares of sugarcane crops in Brazil, producing refined sugar and ethanol.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino expressed satisfaction with this decision, mentioning that his childhood was closely tied to farming with his parents.

Tether’s Financial Strength

Over the past 12 months, Tether has demonstrated its dominance in the crypto business, generating record revenue through USDT transactions and allocating substantial funds in both crypto and non-crypto sectors.

In Q2 2024, Tether reported a net revenue of $1.3 billion, a remarkable achievement for any company.

Tether & El Salvador

Despite regulatory challenges, Tether has consistently contributed to its field. Three years ago, Tether’s parent company Bitfinex assisted El Salvador in adopting Bitcoin at a technical level.

Recently, Paolo shared that this was a proud moment for Tether to help El Salvador in the Bitcoin adoption journey, hinting that even bigger developments, such as more widespread Bitcoin adoption, are on the horizon.
