• John Elkann confirmed Exor remains the majority shareholder with approximately 65 percent ownership, while Tether has acquired over 10 percent of the club

Continued Control from Turin’s Historic Owners

John Elkann, heir to the Agnelli family and chief executive of Exor, the family’s holding company, has dispelled any speculation regarding the sale of Juventus shares. The Agnelli dynasty’s association with Juventus dates back to 1923, when Edoardo Agnelli first became club president. Through Exor, the family has exercised majority control of the Bianconeri for more than a century.

When asked about a potential sale of shares following Tether’s investment, Elkann clarified to Reuters that this is not under consideration. “We remain fully committed to Juventus and are proud to have been its controlling shareholder for more than a century,” he said.
