Tether CEO Reveals Company Vision and Investment Strategy

Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino recently shared the company's strategic layout and development vision. As a technology expert, Paolo stated that Tether is committed to building systems that can survive in the harshest environments.

In the past few years, Tether has transformed from being heavily scrutinized to becoming one of the most profitable companies in the world, with profits reaching $13 billion in 2024. Paolo believes that stablecoins are playing an increasingly important role globally, especially in developing countries. He calls on U.S. regulators to provide appropriate safeguards for stablecoins issued overseas, such as USDT, as they are crucial for maintaining the global status of the dollar.

In countries with high inflation, USDT is changing people's lives. Paolo stated that the widespread use of smartphones and a high proportion of young people are key factors driving the adoption of the digital dollar. Tether's effectiveness in financial inclusion surpasses that of many international organizations and is expanding the global use of the dollar.

In addition to USDT, Tether has also launched Tether Gold. Paolo explained that this is the best asset tokenization product they can offer beyond Bitcoin. The BRICS countries are preparing a gold-backed digital currency, and Tether hopes to get ahead of the curve.

On the technical side, Tether plans to develop an algorithm that allows users to automatically bridge funds to the blockchain with the lowest transaction fees and the fastest confirmation speed. Paolo emphasized that Tether will remain neutral across all chains and provide users with the optimal on-chain path.

In terms of investment, Tether retains most of its profits for investment. The current investment portfolio includes:

1. Expand the global distribution network, holding 50-60 companies involved in education, mobile, App publishing, and other fields.
2. Invest in digital distribution platforms like Rumble
3. Invest in Adecoagro, the largest landowner in South America
4. Investing in Bitcoin mining, expected to become the world's largest miner by the end of the year.
5. Invest in AI infrastructure company Northern Data
6. Invest in brain-computer interface company Blackrock Neurotech

Paolo stated that Tether's independence allows it to make long-term investments. The company is committed to providing "four stabilizations": monetary stability, communication stability, smart stability, and energy stability. In the future, Tether hopes to embed self-custody wallets for every AI agent, promoting USDT to become one of the main trading currencies.
