The proposal, reportedly worth over $1 billion, aimed to acquire Exor’s controlling stake in the iconic Italian football club. But Exor’s CEO, John Elkann, made it clear: Juventus is not on the market.

Why Did Tether Want Juventus?

Tether, the company behind the world’s most widely used stablecoin (USDT), already holds a minority stake in Juventus. With its offer, it sought full control, proposing to purchase Exor’s 65.4% share at a premium price. In addition to the buyout, Tether pledged over $1 billion in further investments to boost the club’s infrastructure and global reach.

This aggressive move was part of a broader trend of crypto firms entering traditional industries, especially sports. Owning a globally recognized football club like Juventus would have given Tether major exposure and brand credibility outside of the crypto world.

Exor’s Strong Rejection

However, Exor’s board swiftly and unanimously rejected the offer. John Elkann stated that Juventus represents more than a business asset – it’s a legacy, a cultural institution, and a symbol of the Agnelli family’s century-long commitment to Italian football.

In his words, “Values are not for sale.” This statement reflected the family’s dedication to preserving the club’s heritage and long-term vision, rather than handing it over for financial gain.

A Statement of Identity

The rejection sends a strong message: not all historic institutions are up for grabs, no matter how large the offer. Juventus remains a family-run club, rooted in tradition and driven by a sporting legacy that money alone cannot buy.

This incident also reflects the tension between emerging digital finance players and legacy institutions that value heritage over hype. While Tether may try again or look elsewhere, Juventus is staying true to its roots — at least for now.

Juventus sticks to tradition, and even Teda spending a billion is useless—this is the gap.

Haha, Tether wants to acquire Juventus? They really dare to think about it. The pride of traditional giants is still there.

Oh wow, Tether's move cracked me up. They really think throwing money around can buy everything.

Haha, does Tether want to throw money into traditional aristocracy? You're overthinking it, friend. --- Old clubs just don't buy into that; there are still people holding their ground. --- The big players in crypto have finally fallen, and money can't shake a century-old tradition. --- Basically, it's still the classic issue of culture versus money. Juventus chose their soul. --- Tether's recent move is really a bit outrageous, thinking the whole world is short of money.

Ha, Tether is trying to use money to break into the traditional elite circles, but was politely rejected. Serves them right. --- Now, the crypto world can't shake up football; tradition still has its bottom line. --- It seems money can't silence culture. I've learned a new reverse indicator trick. --- Tether's offensive was pushed back; this tactic is too crude. If I operated like this, I would have been cut off long ago. --- Brilliant, this time traditional institutions weren't shaken by the crypto world's big guns, but instead became my reverse signal.

Haha, this time Exor really held back. Tether tried to invest 100 million but was rejected, which shows that some things really can't be bought with money.
