Tether, the company behind the world’s most widely used stablecoin, is leading a massive Series C funding round for German robotics startup NEURA Robotics. The round aims to raise approximately €1 billion, roughly $1.2 billion, valuing NEURA at about €4 billion.
The deal and who’s at the table
NEURA Robotics develops cognitive and humanoid robots designed to perceive, reason, and operate autonomously using physical AI capabilities.
Tether isn’t alone in seeing the potential here. The investor roster includes Amazon, Qualcomm Ventures, Bosch, Schaeffler, and Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al Thani, the former Prime Minister of Qatar.
The round follows a €120 million Series B that closed on January 15, 2025, led by Lingotto Investment Management. Earlier discussions in November 2025 had projected NEURA’s valuation somewhere between €8 billion and €10 billion. The €4 billion figure represents a significant haircut from those initial talks.
