Tether Buys Big Stake in Bitcoin Mining Finance Company Antalpha

Tether, the company behind the popular USDT digital dollar, just made a big investment in the Bitcoin mining world.

The company bought 2 million shares of Antalpha, a company that lends money to Bitcoin miners (companies that use computers to create new Bitcoin). This purchase gives Tether about 8.2% ownership of Antalpha.

What is Antalpha? • It's a finance company that helps Bitcoin miners buy equipment • It works closely with Bitmain, the world's biggest maker of Bitcoin mining computers • The company went public (started selling shares on the stock market) in 2025 • It made $80 million in revenue (total sales) in 2025, up 68% from the year before

Despite strong business growth, Antalpha's stock price has dropped 27% since it went public. The stock originally sold for $12.80 per share but now trades around $9.30.

This price drop might be happening because many Bitcoin mining companies are shifting their focus. Instead of just mining Bitcoin, they're now also renting out their powerful computers for artificial intelligence (AI) work, which can be more profitable.

Tether's investment shows they believe in the future of Bitcoin mining finance, even as the industry goes through changes.
