繫繩通過收購意大利媒體公司Be Water獲得30％的股份，超越加密貨幣

Tether是世界上最大的Stablecoin USDT的發行人，再次通過收購30％的人進行了非克雷普托相關的戰略投資

Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, has made a new non-crypto related strategic investment by acquiring a 30% stake in Italian media company Be Water for approximately 10 million euros.

Tether是世界上最大的Stablecoin USDT的發行人Tether，通過以大約1000萬歐元的價格收購了意大利媒體公司Be Water的30％的股份，從而獲得了新的非Crypto相關戰略投資。

This move marks its another step in the ongoing broader diversification strategy beyond the cryptocurrency sector.

這一舉動標誌著加密貨幣部門以外的更廣泛的多元化策略的又一步。

As disclosed in a recent press release, Be Water’s portfolio includes Chora Media and Will Media, both specializing in podcast productions. It also includes Be Water Film, a company which is engaged in film and television production and distribution. And now by taking a significant stake in this media firm, Tether appears to be positioning itself to influence and shape narratives in the digital economy.

正如最近一份新聞稿所披露的那樣，BE Water的投資組合包括Chora Media和Will Media，都專門從事播客製作。它還包括Be Water Film，該公司從事電影和電視製作和發行。現在，通過在這家媒體公司中佔有很大的股份，Tether似乎正在將自己定位為影響和塑造數字經濟中的敘事。

But Why is Tether Investing in Media?

但是，繫繩在媒體上投資呢？

Its decision to invest in a media company might seem unusual at first glance, but it aligns with broader trends in the digital asset industry.

乍一看，它投資於媒體公司的決定似乎很不尋常，但與數字資產行業的更廣泛趨勢保持一致。

“At Tether, we recognize the power of storytelling and the importance of independent media in shaping informed societies,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether in a statement.

Tether的首席執行官Paolo Ardoino在一份聲明中說：“在Tether，我們認識到講故事的力量以及獨立媒體在塑造知情社會中的重要性。”

Notably, several crypto companies have sought greater control over public perception, education, and adoption of blockchain technology.

值得注意的是，幾家加密貨幣公司已尋求對公眾看法，教育和區塊鏈技術採用的更大控制。

By leveraging Be Water’s media assets, it can:

通過利用Be Water的媒體資產，它可以：

1. Control the Narrative – Cryptocurrency remains a heavily scrutinized industry. As Tether CEO mentioned in a X post, owning a stake in a media company will allow Tether to push favorable narratives and address misinformation directly.

1。控制敘述 - 加密貨幣仍然是一個嚴重審查的行業。正如Tether CEO在X帖子中提到的那樣，在媒體公司擁有股份將使Tether可以推動有利的敘述並直接解決錯誤信息。

2. Promote Digital Asset Education – Podcasts, films, and digital content available by Be Water’s media platforms could also serve as vehicles for educating the public about crypto, stablecoins, and blockchain.

2。促進數字資產教育 - Be Water的媒體平台可用的播客，電影和數字內容也可以作為對公眾進行Crypto，Stablecoins和Blockchain的教育的車輛。

3. Strengthen Brand Influence – With a growing number of regulatory challenges, a media presence could also help the USDT issuer in maintaining a strong, trusted brand image.

3。加強品牌影響力 - 隨著越來越多的監管挑戰，媒體的存在也可以幫助USDT發行人保持堅強，值得信賴的品牌形象。

The Bigger Picture of Tether’s Diversification Strategy

繫繩多元化策略的更大前景

Tether’s expansion beyond crypto has been accelerating in recent years. The company has invested in Bitcoin mining, AI-driven blockchain security, and now media.

近年來，Tether的擴展超出加密貨幣一直在加速。該公司已投資於比特幣採礦，AI驅動的區塊鏈安全和現在的媒體。

This strategy suggests Tether is preparing for a future where it is not solely reliant on USDT’s dominance but instead operates as a broader tech and finance conglomerate.

該策略表明，Tether正在為未來做準備，因為它不僅依賴於USDT的統治地位，而是作為一個更廣泛的技術和金融集團運作。

​In recent years, it has diversified its investment portfolio beyond its core stablecoin operations, engaging in several strategic acquisitions and investments across various industries which includes:​

近年來，它已將其投資組合多樣化於其核心Stablecoin運營之外，從事各個行業的幾項戰略收購和投資，其中包括：

1. In April 2024, Tether invested $200 million to become the majority stakeholder in Blackrock Neurotech, a pioneer in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology to advance medical solutions for individuals with neurological disorders.

1。2024年4月，Tether投資了2億美元，成為BlackRock Neurotech的多數利益相關者，BlackRock Neurotech是腦部計算機界面（BCI）技術的先驅，以促進神經系統疾病患者的醫療解決方案。

2. In December 2024, it acquired approximately 103.3 million shares of Rumble (NASDAQ:RMR) at $7.50 per share, totaling around $775 million. This investment supports Rumble’s growth initiatives and a self-tender offer, which is soon to launch its crypto wallet.

2。在2024年12月，它以每股7.50美元的價格收購了Rumble（NASDAQ：RMR）約1.033億股，總計約7.75億美元。這項投資支持Rumble的增長計劃和自我傾向的報價，這很快就會推出加密錢包。

3. Then in February 2025, it acquired a 5% stake in the Italian Serie A soccer club Juventus, valued at approximately 50 million euros.

3。然後在2025年2月，它收購了意大利意甲聯賽尤文圖斯股份，價值約5000萬歐元。

After Juventus Deal, it is also planning to invest in the South African energy company Adecoagro S.A. (NYSE:AAO).

在尤文圖斯交易之後，它還計劃投資於南非能源公司Adecoagro SA（NYSE：AAO）。

Notably, USDT’s market cap currently stands at approximately $144 billion, backed primarily by liquid assets like U.S. Treasuries. This financial strength is what allows it to make such bold investments in sectors, enhancing its long-term stability and influence.

值得注意的是，USDT的市值目前約為1,440億美元，主要由美國國債等流動資產提供支持。這種財務實力使其能夠在領域進行如此大膽的投資，從而增強其長期穩定性和影響力。

What’s Next?

接下來是什麼？

Its move into media raises important questions. Will it use Be Water to create educational content on blockchain? or as Tether CEO highlighted for a “pro-crypto non-politicised content?” Will it launch a media platform dedicated to crypto news? Or is this just the first of many acquisitions in the media space?

它進入媒體提出了重要的問題。它會用水在區塊鏈上創建教育內容嗎？還是Tether首席執行官突出顯示了“支持非政治化內容？”它會啟動專門針對加密新聞的媒體平台嗎？還是這只是媒體領域中許多收購中的第一次？

But one thing is clear—Tether no longer sees itself as just a stablecoin issuer. It is positioning itself as a diversified powerhouse with interests across multiple high-impact industries.

但是有一件事很清楚，而不再將自己視為穩定的發行人。它將自己定位為多元化的強大強國，擁有多個高影響力行業的利益。

Whether this expansion ultimately strengthens its position in the crypto ecosystem remains to be seen, but for now, the company is making moves that signal a long-term vision beyond digital currency.

這種擴展是否最終加強了其在加密生態系統中的地位還有待觀察，但是就目前而言，該公司正在採取行動，這表明超出數字貨幣的長期願景。
