Reading in English

Munich-based Neura Robotics announced on June 10, 2026, a landmark Series C funding round of up to $1.4 billion, achieving a $7 billion valuation. The round was led by stablecoin giant Tether, with participation from Nvidia, Amazon, Qualcomm, Bosch, Schaeffler, and the European Investment Bank. This represents one of the largest private investment rounds ever recorded in the physical AI sector. Tether will embed its Wallet Development Kit directly into Neura's MAiRA and 4NE-1 robotic platforms, enabling self-custodial USDT wallets—allowing robots to receive payment autonomously for completed tasks. The milestone-contingent funding structure ties the full $1.4 billion to production and deployment targets. Neura has been shipping MAiRA humanoid robots to enterprise customers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland over the past 18 months. Amazon's dual role as investor and potential customer positions European fulfillment centers as the most likely first large-scale deployment target.
