Agnelli family maintains control as Tether’s offer is turned down.

Juventus Rejects Tether’s €1.1 Billion Takeover Bid

Juventus has turned down an unsolicited all-cash takeover bid of €1.1 billion from Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin. Exor, which holds a 65.4% stake in the Italian giants, rejected the offer despite Tether already owning around 11% of the club and proposing to invest an additional €1 billion to drive growth.

The Agnelli family, who have led Juventus since 1923, overseeing 36 Serie A titles and numerous European successes, reportedly view the club as an untouchable family jewel. Their decision reflects a desire to maintain long-term control and heritage, prioritizing tradition over external investment offers.
