Rumble Inc. (RUM) has revealed a new

(BTC) tipping option for its 51 million monthly users, representing a notable step forward in bringing cryptocurrency features to popular content platforms. This new tool, created in collaboration with , allows transactions in , Tether’s stablecoin, and Tether Gold (XAUT), and is scheduled to go live in mid-December 2025. The company spotlighted its first test—a $4.50 BTC tip sent to Canadian creator David Freiheit—as a key achievement in its “freedom meets finance” campaign, according to .

This rollout fits into Tether’s larger plan to grow its U.S.-compliant stablecoin, USAT, which is built to align with the GENIUS Act. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that the collaboration is intended to turn Rumble’s largely American audience into stablecoin users, using the platform’s anti-censorship stance to foster financial autonomy, as reported by

. Tether’s $775 million investment in in 2024 highlights its dedication to expanding USAT’s presence. Ardoino mentioned the company’s goal to bring 100 million U.S. users on board by the end of the year through strategic partnerships and investments, noted.

With 210.8 BTC (about $23.6 million) in its reserves, Rumble is positioning itself as a crypto-forward alternative to mainstream social networks. CEO Chris Pavlovski shared at the Plan ₿ Forum in Switzerland that the tipping system was designed to give creators access to decentralized payments, letting them receive support without the risk of being removed from the platform, according to

. To encourage adoption, the company is also hosting a sweepstakes where users can win 1 BTC until October 31, 2025, TheCoinrise reported.

Regulatory compliance is a key focus for Tether. While its main USDT stablecoin is under regulatory review in the U.S., USAT is structured to satisfy federal requirements through Anchorage Digital. Ardoino indicated that the December launch will target “everyday transactions” within the creator economy, aiming to rival established payment services like PayPal, according to CoinCentral.

Experts see this development as a strategic advantage for both firms. Rumble’s embrace of Bitcoin’s decentralized philosophy appeals to its audience, while Tether secures a broad channel for USAT adoption. The partnership also signals increasing business interest in crypto payments, especially as U.S. regulations continue to develop.
