Tether leads $50M Eight Sleep funding round at $1.5B valuation

Tether has led a $50 million investment round in Eight Sleep, an AI sleep tracking startup, valuing the company at $1.5 billion. The funding follows a $100 million round raised by Eight Sleep in August 2025. Eight Sleep develops AI-powered sleep health technology, including the Eight Sleep Pod, which monitors biometric data such as heart rate, breathing and sleep stages. The system automatically adjusts bed temperature, elevation and sound settings based on real-time sleep patterns. The partnership will integrate Tether's QVAC architecture, which processes health data locally on devices rather than external servers. Eight Sleep is developing a predictive AI sleep agent trained on over one billion hours of sleep data and pursuing FDA filings for sleep apnoea detection. The investment reflects Tether's expansion beyond cryptocurrency into sectors including health technology and artificial intelligence.

Eight Sleep's new Pregnancy Mode adjusts your bed temperature so you don't have to.

Eight Sleep's new Pregnancy Mode adjusts your bed temperature so you don't have to. The sleep tech company's latest feature tracks physiological changes during pregnancy and postpartum to automatically fine-tune your sleep. Nasha Addarich Martínez May 5, 2026 6:00 a.m. PT If you've ever been pregnant (or know someone who has), you know that sleep gets harder as the pregnancy progresses. One minute you're freezing, the next you're waking up to night sweats. Most likely, your sleep environment hasn't changed, but your body has. Eight Sleep, the company behind the Pod smart mattress cover and sleep tracker, just launched Pregnancy Mode, an AI-powered system built for the physiological changes brought on from pregnancy and postpartum. It's available now as a free app update for all Eight Sleep members with a paid Standard, Enhanced or Elite subscription ($17 to $33 per month). When you activate Pregnancy Mode within the app, the system uses your pre-pregnancy temperature baseline, your last menstrual period date and your estimated due date to automatically calculate weekly temperature adjustments across all sleep stages. Eight Sleep's dataset of over 100 pregnant members and 50,000 nights of sleep data found that in the early stages of pregnancy, your body tends to sleep warmer (about 0.4 to 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit) than your pre-pregnancy baseline temperature. The study also found that by the third trimester, it's the complete opposite - pregnant people were setting their Pods nearly 3.5 degrees cooler than normal. Pregnancy Mode also tracks that curve and continues to adjust eight weeks postpartum. The feature includes a dedicated Pregnancy Insights card in the app, where you can see weekly biometric summaries of your heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, sleep stages and snoring. It'll also compare these metrics to your pre-pregnancy scores. Baby development milestones and prenatal visit reminders are part of this new feature, too. Partners sharing the bed will get their own weekly insights on what to expect and how to help their pregnant significant other. Pregnancy Mode is now available in the Eight Sleep app on iOS and Android.

The company noted that its latest capital raise will support the commercial launch of its cell therapies, with the goal of expanding access to thousands of patients each year.[8] Central to its platform is the Cell Shuttle, an automated system that enables end-to-end manufacturing of cell therapies. The technology was recognized as one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2025.[9] San Francisco-based Cellares reported a price per share of $11.99 as of its Series D round.

Aston Martin F1 Taps Eight Sleep for Recovery Optimization

Aston Martin F1 taps Eight Sleep for recovery optimization. February 10, 2026 1/3 free articles used this month. The sleep tech company will support driver and team recovery; Eight Sleep branding will also be seen on Aston Martin Aramco Formula One cars. The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team has entered a new partnership with Eight Sleep, bringing the sleep technology brand into its performance ecosystem ahead of the 2026 season. The collaboration will center on recovery optimization across the team's drivers and personnel, with Eight Sleep providing its Pod sleep systems, temperature-regulated beds equipped with biometric tracking and adaptive cooling technology designed to support improved recovery. As the Formula One calendar grows more demanding with long-haul travel, rapid time zone shifts and condensed race weekends, the partnership goal is to improve athlete sleep patterns. "In Formula One, performance is the result of marginal gains accumulated over an entire season," said Jefferson Slack, the managing director of commercial and marketing for Aston Martin F1. "Sleep is a critical performance input, and Eight Sleep's AI-powered sleep technology allows us to optimize recovery in a way that static solutions cannot." Eight Sleep's technology continuously adjusts bed temperature throughout the night and tracks physiological signals to tailor sleep conditions in real time. The system is built on a large proprietary dataset and is designed to help users adapt to changing training loads, travel schedules and recovery needs. The partnership will also extend to branding integration across the race environment. Eight Sleep's logo will appear on the nose of the team's car, as well as on driver balaclavas, cooling vests and garage cooling equipment during race weekends. Eight Sleep's partnership with Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team comes as the company expands beyond consumer sleep products into performance and health technology. Last fall, Eight Sleep raised $100 million in funding to develop an AI-powered "sleep agent" and pursue FDA approval for future medical applications, signaling ambitions that extend into preventive health and clinical monitoring. The capital is expected to support product innovation, global expansion and deeper integration of biometric data and AI into its sleep systems. The company has also been building visibility through partnerships and athlete adoption, including with NBA star Jimmy Butler and F1 driver Charles Leclerc.
