[Tether Considers Adjusting U.S. Political Donation Strategy] Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that the company is dissatisfied with the operations of the crypto-focused political action committee Fairshake, believing it has become a tool controlled by a certain company, though he did not disclose the specific name. Reportedly, Fairshake has invested $133 million in the 2024 U.S. election to support pro-crypto candidates. Since Tether is headquartered in El Salvador, it cannot directly donate to U.S. political campaigns, but the company plans to establish an entity in the U.S. by the end of 2025, led by former Trump crypto advisor Bo Hines. In recent years, several crypto-focused political action committees have been established, some closely tied to Republican candidates, including organizations associated with Cantor Fitzgerald Bank, which is led by Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary under the Trump administration. Tether is currently evaluating potential collaborations with different political action committees to optimize its political strategy.
