šØ BREAKING CRYPTO + FOOTBALL NEWS: TETHER GOES AFTER JUVENTUS! ā½š¢
Stablecoin giant Tether ā the issuer of USDT ā has just made headlines in both crypto and sports by submitting a binding all-cash bid to acquire Juventus Football Club! If successful, this would be one of the most ambitious intersections of crypto and traditional global sports ever seen.
Hereās the latest:
š¹ Tether offered over ā¬1.1 billion to buy a 65.4% controlling stake from Juventusās main shareholder, Exor.
š¹ The offer values Juventus at about ā¬2.66 per share, a roughly 21% premium over recent market price.
š¹ Tether already owns more than 10% of the clubās stock and even secured a board seat earlier this year.
š¹ Exor and the Agnelli family have publicly stated the club is not for sale ā meaning Tetherās bid was rebuffed early.
š¹ If the deal had gone through, Tether pledged a ā¬1 billion investment into Juventusās future development on and off the pitch.
This strategic move highlights how far crypto companies are trying to integrate into mainstream global culture and elite sports ā not just through sponsorships and fan tokens, but through actual ownership ambitions.
