Video platform Rumble is set to acquire cloud computing firm Northern Data in an all-stock deal, according to CoinDesk. This strategic move is backed by Tether, the issuer of USDT, who holds a significant stake in both companies. Tether currently owns around 54% of Northern Data's shares. As part of the acquisition agreement, Tether will exchange these shares for Rumble stock, making them the largest single shareholder of Rumble's Class A common stock. Furthermore, Tether has committed to purchasing GPUs from Rumble for several years, solidifying their partnership. This acquisition allows Rumble to bolster its cloud infrastructure and potentially expand its services. For Tether, it represents a diversification of its investments and a continued push into supporting innovative tech companies within the crypto ecosystem. The merger signifies a growing synergy between video sharing, cloud computing, and the digital asset space. ```
