Fact Check
The claim is supported by the CoinPost article, which specifically says Tether Investments announced on April 29 that it would vote for a merger involving Twenty One Capital, Strike, and Electron Energy, matching the key parties and date in the claim. The CoinDesk X post independently corroborates the core point that Tether Investments proposed a merger with Twenty One Capital. Confidence is only medium because the official Tether announcement cited by CoinPost could not be fetched and validated directly in this run.
