Tether, a crypto group, has made an all-cash bid to acquire the Agnelli family's entire stake in Juventus, Italy's most successful football club. The proposal, worth over €1 billion, aims to take control of 65.4% of the club's share capital. Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, a lifelong Juventus fan, expressed his commitment to investing in the club's future, promising stability and long-term growth.

However, the Agnelli family has firmly rejected the offer, stating they have no intention of selling their stake in Juventus. Exor, the family's holding company, has made it clear that they are not interested in entertaining Tether's proposal. The family's ties with Juventus date back to 1923, and they seem determined to maintain control.

Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, has made an offer to buy the Agnelli family's 65.4% stake in Juventus. The proposal values the Italian football club at over €1 billion. Tether already holds over 10% of Juventus' shares, making it the club's second-largest shareholder.
