Tether has officially submitted a binding, all-cash proposal to Exor to acquire its full stake in Juventus Football Club. If the deal proceeds and receives regulatory approval, Tether plans to launch a public offer for the remaining shares at the same price, fully backed by its own capital and a long-term commitment to the club’s future.
For Tether, this move goes far beyond a business transaction. It reflects a belief that Juventus represents something deeper than football. The club has long been a symbol of discipline, ambition, and the quiet resilience that defines generations of Italian sport. Its legacy has shaped the national identity and earned unwavering global loyalty.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino spoke personally about the significance of the club:
“Juventus has always been part of my life. I grew up with this team. As a boy, I learned commitment, resilience, and responsibility from watching Juventus confront both triumph and adversity with dignity. Those lessons stayed with me long after the final whistle.”
Ardoino emphasized that the company’s interest is rooted in “admiration and respect,” describing Juventus as a symbol of Italian excellence with worldwide influence — a club built through decades of hard work, ambition, and the dedication of its supporters. He noted that these values align closely with the principles that guided Tether’s rise: independence, patience, and a focus on long-term strength.
Tether says it is in a position of strong financial health and intends to support Juventus with stable capital and a multi-year vision. The aim is to help strengthen the club’s sporting performance, reinforce its global brand, and support sustainable growth as the sports and media landscape continues to evolve.
The company underscored that the proposal is made “with humility and a deep sense of responsibility toward the club, its fans, and its legacy.” Tether believes the next chapters of Juventus’ history can be defined by renewed ambition, continuity, and stability.
The proposal covers the acquisition of Exor’s 65.4% stake in Juventus. Completion of the transaction would depend on Exor’s acceptance, the signing of definitive agreements, and regulatory approval. If finalized, Tether intends to follow with a tender offer for the remaining shares at the same price per share.
Should the acquisition go through, Tether has expressed readiness to invest €1 billion into the club’s ongoing development and future projects.
Tether continues to operate with a long-term investment philosophy, backed by a strong balance sheet and a commitment to building resilient, globally significant institutions. Further updates will be provided in line with applicable regulations.
