Winklevosses Invest $100 Million in Battered Gemini Exchange
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, the billionaire twins who founded Gemini Space Station Inc., made a $100 million “strategic investment” into the money-losing crypto exchange.
Winklevoss Capital Fund LLC made the infusion into the New York-based firm at a price of $14 a share of the company’s Class A common stock, with consideration paid in Bitcoin. The stock jumped about 15% in post-market trading, after closing at $5.26 on Thursday. The shares have slumped more than 80% in the past year.
