Former Tether CIO Richard Heathcote seeks buyer for part of his 1.26% stake in stablecoin issuer

Richard Heathcote, the former chief investment officer of Tether, is looking to sell a portion of his 1.26% stake in the stablecoin issuer USDT. He is working with advisory firm PJT Partners to find potential buyers. Heathcote transitioned to a non-executive advisory role in March and was replaced by his deputy. This move comes as Tether scaled back its fundraising plans after investor resistance to a high valuation, despite reporting a $10 billion profit in 2025. The sale could affect ownership dynamics in the largest stablecoin company by market cap.
