Other investors include Amazon, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Bosch, Schaeffler, and the European Investment Bank. The deal puts Neura’s valuation at around $7 billion, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The full funding amount is tied to Neura hitting certain performance milestones. The company declined to comment on what those milestones are.
Neura makes humanoid robots, precision arms, autonomous mobile robots, and service robots. The company says its robots are built to work in any environment where humans and machines collaborate.
David Reger, Neura’s founder and CEO, said the future of AI will not just exist on screens. “It will move, interact, learn and work beside us in the real world,” he said.
Reger also pushed back on the idea that major AI companies can only come from the United States. He said the next generation of AI leaders can come from anywhere with the right talent and vision.
Tether Brings Crypto Wallets Into the Mix
Beyond writing a check, Tether is taking a hands-on role in Neura’s development. The stablecoin issuer says it will deploy its technology directly inside the Neura robotics ecosystem.
That includes integrating Tether’s Wallet Development Kit into Neura’s robotic systems. The idea is that robots will be able to handle financial transactions on their own.
“To be truly autonomous, robots need financial tools,” Tether said in a statement.
Tether has been growing as a venture capital investor in recent years. The company earns large profits from its stablecoin business and invests its reserves in yield-bearing assets like U.S. Treasurys.
Robotics Funding Is Breaking Records in 2026
Robotics companies have raised $55.8 billion globally so far in 2026, according to data firm Dealroom. That is nearly double the previous annual record, set just last year.
Most of that money has gone to companies in the U.S. and China. But European robotics firms are drawing more attention, including SoftBank-backed Agile Robots in Germany and Humanoid in the U.K.
Neura’s last funding round was in January 2025, when it raised nearly $140 million from investors including BlueCrest and Volvo Cars Tech Fund.
The company now competes directly with Tesla, which is also working to mass-produce humanoid robots.
