Winklevoss Twins’ Bitcoin Treasury Shatters Expectations with $147M Mega-Raise

Bitcoin's institutional adoption just got a heavyweight endorsement—and a massive cash injection.

The Winklevoss twins' Bitcoin treasury operation hauled in a staggering $147 million, proving once again that crypto's most famous twins still move markets. Forget garage startups—this is institutional money playing for keeps.

Why This Raise Matters

That number—$147 million—isn't just impressive; it's a signal. Traditional finance might still be waffling on crypto, but smart money is diving in headfirst. The twins have long bet big on Bitcoin, and this raise suggests others are finally catching up.

Timing is everything, and this cash grab comes as Bitcoin continues to defy skeptics. No flash-in-the-pan hype here—just cold, hard capital backing the original crypto.

What’s Next?

More institutional adoption, likely. More products, more infrastructure, and yes—more eye-popping fundraising rounds. The twins aren’t just investing; they’re building an empire. And with $147 million added to their war chest, they’ve got ammunition to spare.

So while old-school finance debates whether crypto is 'real,' innovators are busy stacking sats—and stacks of cash. Sometimes, the market doesn’t need approval—it just needs a checkbook.

Treasury Raises Nearly $150 Million

According to Oei’s September 3 X post, Treasury officially holds nearly $150 million and 1,000 BTC.

“It is time to start Europe’s Digital Golden Age,” Oei wrote, adding that the crypto organization has backing from fellow bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto.

Following the announcement, Tyler Winklevoss took to X to celebrate the novel digital asset company.

“Amsterdam is the birthplace of the joint stock company and the stock market, two of the world’s greatest financial innovations,” Winklevoss said. “Treasury is continuing this tradition by bringing bitcoin, the greatest financial innovation of this century, to investors in Europe via the Euronext Amsterdam.”

The Winklevoss Twins Set Their Sights On Multibillion-Dollar IPO

News of Treasury’s launch comes just one day after it was revealed that the Winklevoss twins’ company Gemini is seeking a $2.2 billion valuation for its U.S. initial public offering (IPO).

According to Gemini’s filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday, the company is set to sell 16.67 million shares of its Class A common stock at an expected price of $17 to $19 per share.

The company, launched under the name Gemini Space Station, Inc., is slated to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “GEMI.”

Both Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are known for their longstanding allegiance to Bitcoin and other digital assets.

Just last month, the duo donated $21 million worth of Bitcoin to the Digital Freedom Fund PAC in a bid to help bring about what they call “America’s Golden Age.”

In the past, the twins have given $5 million to the crypto-focused super PAC Fairshake and $2 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign.
