Richard Heathcote, who till March was Tether’s chief funding officer, is planning to promote a part of his 1.26% stake within the stablecoin big, based on a Bloomberg report.
Heathcote is working with PJT Companions to promote his holding within the San Salvador, El Salvador-based firm, Bloomberg mentioned, citing sources near the matter. The sources mentioned discussions with potential consumers had been ongoing. They declined to touch upon the corporate’s potential valuation.
Heathcote took on a non-executive advisory position on the issuer of USDT, the biggest stablecoin by market capitalization, in March, and was changed by his deputy Zachary Lyons.
In February, Tether scaled again from plans to lift as a lot as $20 billion after going through investor resistance to a proposed $500 billion valuation that may rank the stablecoin issuer among the many world’s most beneficial personal corporations. Tether advisers then adopted up with plans to lift $5 billion. Tether reported a full-year revenue of greater than $10 billion for 2025.
Tether didn’t reply to a CoinDesk request for remark. PJT Companions declined to remark. Heathcote couldn’t be reached.
