US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick is personally assisting with Tether’s equity fundraise, according to Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten. Citing a tip from a national news reporter, Klippsten claims that Lutnick is simultaneously running the Department of Commerce (DOC) and drumming up support for the stablecoin giant’s $20 billion open equity round. On September 23, Bloomberg reported that Tether was trying to sell approximately 3% equity in a $15-20 billion private placement. If successful, the raise could value Tether at $500 billion, putting it on a par with the likes of Exxon Mobil and Mastercard. Equity fundraises typically take a few weeks to fill and close, so the round could presumably remain open today. Donald Trump nominated Lutnick to join his Presidential Cabinet on November 19, 2024. He passed Senate confirmation on February 18 and was sworn in on February 21, 2025. Before joining Trump’s administration, Lutnick was a bond manager for Tether a...
