Swan Bitcoin CEO Alleges Tether Controls Twenty One Capital for US Political Interests

Cory Klippsten claims Tether uses Twenty One Capital as a political tool in the US, labeling Jack Mallers' CEO role as merely a figurehead position without providing evidence.

Woofun AI reports that Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten asserted in an interview that Tether effectively controls Twenty One Capital, the publicly listed Bitcoin reserves firm it supports. Klippsten alleged that Tether utilizes the entity to advance its political interests within the United States, though he offered no evidence to substantiate these claims. Tether did not respond to requests for comment.
