Odaily Planet Daily reports that German robotics startup Neura Robotics is raising approximately €1 billion (about $1.2 billion) in funding, with stablecoin issuer Tether Holdings SA participating in the investment to develop AI-driven humanoid robots. The current funding values the company at around €4 billion, with potential further financing in the future.
Neura Robotics is headquartered in Metzingen, Germany. Its current product lineup includes factory transport robots and household robotic arms. CEO David Reger previously stated that the company’s order volume last year was close to $1 billion, with clients including Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Omron in Japan. In January 2025, the company completed a €120 million funding round led by Lingotto Investment Management, a subsidiary of Exor.
This investment marks Tether’s latest move to expand beyond its core crypto business, following previous investments in brain-computer interface company Blackrock Neurotech and Italian robotics startup Generative Bionics.
