“Tether Crypto Boosts Stake in Latin American Agricultural Giant Adecoagro to 70%”
Tether has significantly expanded its stake in Adecoagro S.A., a prominent agricultural and renewable energy company in South America, aiming to increase its ownership to 70%. This move aligns with Tether’s strategy to diversify investments into sustainable industries.
Details of the Agreement
Through its subsidiary, Tether Investments S.A. de C.V., Tether plans to acquire up to 49,596,510 additional shares of Adecoagro at $12.41 per share. This tender offer, subject to certain conditions, seeks to raise Tether’s ownership from 51% to approximately 70% of Adecoagro’s outstanding shares. A key condition for the transaction is achieving at least 51% ownership on a fully diluted basis.
Adecoagro’s Operations and Vision
Adecoagro operates across Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, focusing on farming, land transformation, and renewable energy production. The company manages over 210,400 hectares of farmland and produces more than 2.8 million tons of agricultural goods annually. It also generates over 1 million MWh of renewable electricity each year. Tether supports Adecoagro’s mission to produce food and energy sustainably and efficiently in the region.
Tether’s Initial Proposal
In February 2025, Tether submitted a non-binding proposal to acquire a majority stake in Adecoagro at $12.41 per share. Tether already owned approximately 19.4% of the company’s shares at that time. Following this proposal, Adecoagro’s board engaged legal and financial advisors to assess the offer.
Strategic Rationale
Tether views its investment in Adecoagro as a strategic complement to its holdings in Bitcoin and gold, emphasizing land as a stable asset class. According to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, this investment reflects the company’s broader goal of supporting infrastructure and businesses that promote economic resilience and sustainability.
Market Impact and Broader Investments
Following the announcement, Adecoagro’s stock rose over 7% in pre-market trading, reflecting investor optimism about the deal. In addition to this transaction, Tether has been diversifying its portfolio with investments in other sectors. Recent moves include acquiring a 30.4% stake in Italian media company Be Water for €10 million ($10.8 million) and taking a minority stake in Juventus FC, one of Italy’s most prominent soccer clubs.
This expansion underscores Tether’s commitment to investing in industries that align with its vision of fostering innovation and economic freedom while supporting sustainable growth initiatives globally.
