Tether acquires minority stake in Bit2Me and leads €30M investment round

Bit2Me, the digital asset platform in the
Spanish-speaking market, has secured a strategic investment from Tether, the
issuer of USDT and a global leader in the digital asset space. This strategic acquisition positions Tether as the
main backer of an investment round that will total €30 million over the coming
months, alongside the participation of additional strategic investors.

Bit2Me is Spain’s digital asset company, with over a
decade of experience building crypto infrastructure and serving the
Spanish-speaking market. Recognised for its reliability and award-winning
exchange services, Bit2Me also drives crypto education through Bit2Me Academy, the
largest Spanish-language platform for learning about cryptocurrencies.

Andrei Manuel, co-founder and COO of Bit2Me,
commented:

Having a global leader like Tether as part of our
shareholder structure elevates Bit2Me to a new level within the international
crypto ecosystem. Together, we aim to lead the market’s development in both
Europe and Latin America—a region that is beginning to embrace decentralised
finance.

Bit2Me has always followed a clear path grounded in legality,
transparency, and a strong commitment to doing things right for our customers.”

Pablo Casadio, co-founder and CFO of Bit2Me, noted that the company is
supported by leading investors and institutions, including Telefónica, Unicaja,
Cecabank, BBVA, and Investcorp. He added:

With  over a decade
of experience, we’ve earned the trust of more than 7,000 businesses and
millions of users worldwide.

Tether’s support marks a pivotal moment for Bit2Me to
scale further in customers, operations, and global reach.

Tether Ventures, based
in El Salvador, is spearheading the operation as part of its global strategy to
support impactful tech projects in both emerging and developed markets.

Tether’s investment in
Bit2Me, combined with Bit2Me’s newly obtained EU regulatory license and the
backing of future strategic partners, will enable the Spanish company to
accelerate its expansion across the EU, while also reinforcing its footprint in
Argentina and other parts of Latin America, consolidating its position as a key
player in both the European and Spanish speaking crypto ecosystems.

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated:

Bit2Me has shown a strong commitment to building secure, transparent,
and regulation-compliant infrastructure with a user-first approach. Their focus
on education, transparency, and usability aligns with Tether’s vision of an
open financial system that empowers individuals through technology.

We’re
excited to support their growth and role in developing regulated crypto-asset
services in Europe and beyond.
