AIsa confirmed the completion of this funding round extension on October 15, with Tether participating through its investment arm in El Salvador, Tether Capital. Neither party disclosed Tether’s investment amount, the equity stake acquired, or AIsa’s valuation.
This round of expansion builds upon the company’s previous seed funding round. AIsa disclosed on July 3 that, since its founding in 2025, the company has raised a total of $6.5 million. The prior funding round was co-led by Alibaba and Tribe Capital, with participation from Sumitomo Corporation, Draper Associates, and Saison Capital.
The two disclosed totals show that funding has increased by over $2.5 million since July, but this difference does not reveal the exact scale of the October round.
Tether Capital stated that it will invest company profits and excess reserves in technology, finance, and other industries. For AIsa, this funding will support its resource marketplace, payment infrastructure, and enterprise-facing control features.
AIsa connects enterprise AI agents with paid data, AI search, models, APIs, software tools, and industry services through a unified account. Its platform integrates access to these resources with authorization, budgeting, and transaction approvals.
Tether states that the network supports over 250,000 active agents, has processed 100 million transactions worldwide, and provides access to more than 5,000 APIs, tools, and models.
AIsa stated in its statement that fragmented vendor, integration, and billing systems are obstacles to enterprises scaling their agency operations. Its system consolidates resource discovery, access, and purchase into a single interface, enabling metering, billing, and settlement to be managed through one platform rather than relying on separate vendor accounts and subscriptions.
Companies can set spending limits before using the agency purchase service. AIsa also logs purchases and provides an audit trail, enabling companies to monitor how their automated systems utilize resources.
Depending on the service and transaction settings, payments can be made using traditional currency or stablecoins. Stablecoins are simply a payment option and are not required for every purchase.
Jordan Liu, founder and CEO of AIsa, said that enterprise agents require "trusted information, useful tools, and a governed approach to transactions." He noted that this infrastructure enables agents to discover and pay for resources while allowing enterprises to maintain control over permissions and spending.
Tether positions its AI investment in AIsa as part of its broader initiative to advance AI-driven payments and programmable money. CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that as agents take on more responsibilities, users need to maintain control over automated spending.
In June, NEURA Robotics disclosed that it had secured up to $1.4 billion in funding, with investors including Tether and Nvidia. Tether’s October investment statement also mentioned plans to utilize its Wallet Development Kit and QVAC technology in robotic systems. The toolkit enables the development of self-custody wallets, while QVAC supports AI functionalities running locally on devices.
Tether reported a net operating profit of $1.5 billion for the second quarter of 2026, primarily driven by holdings in U.S. Treasuries and income from repurchase agreements. As of the end of June, its total reported assets amounted to approximately $187.7 billion, with excess reserves nearing $4.1 billion.
AIsa has launched an enterprise pilot project to explore financial intelligence, market research, supply chain management, and business applications.
The company's October announcement outlined three key priorities: expanding its global resource network, strengthening corporate spending controls, and building trading infrastructure.
