Tether confirmed it led a Series C funding round for Neura Robotics worth up to $1.4 billion, announcing the deal on Wednesday and outlining plans to integrate Tether wallet technology into Neura’s robotic ecosystem.
Tether said it backed a raise of up to $1.4 billion from strategic and financial investors. The company described the investment as a step toward advancing machine intelligence and autonomy, adding that it supports a firm “reshaping how machines think and move.”
“By supporting the raise of up to $1.4 billion, the group takes a decisive step.”
Tether said Neura Robotics aims to redefine how machines interact and transact in the physical world, and that the Series C round closed after several months of negotiations.
Neura Robotics develops humanoid robots and precision robotic arms for industrial use. The company also builds autonomous mobile robots and service robots for multiple sectors. Tether said these systems will operate in environments where human and machine collaboration creates value.
Neura previously raised nearly $140 million in January 2025 from BlueCrest, C4 Ventures, Lingotto, and the Volvo Cars Tech Fund. Tether said that earlier round expanded Neura’s capital base ahead of the Series C financing.
The article also noted that Neura competes with Tesla, which plans to mass-produce robots.
Tether said it has expanded its venture capital activity through profits from its USDT stablecoin business. The firm holds reserves in yield-bearing assets such as U.S. Treasurys, which it said generate income that supports strategic deals like the Neura round.
Tether said it will deploy technology within the Neura robotics ecosystem. The company confirmed that Neura will integrate Tether’s Wallet Development Kit into robotic systems.
“To be truly autonomous, robots need financial tools.”
Tether said the integration will enable robots to access digital payment capabilities directly, supporting transactions within machine environments and embedding payment functions into robotic workflows.
The company did not disclose the exact timing for deploying the wallet technology, but it confirmed that development teams will work on direct integration. Tether linked the effort to its broader digital asset infrastructure strategy.
Tether did not release additional financial details beyond the $1.4 billion figure. It said diversified investors participated in the round and that the funding and integration plans are part of the closed Series C agreement.
