Forbes currently estimates that each brother is worth $4.4 billion, totaling about $9 billion, with Bitcoin holdings accounting for the largest portion of their wealth.
Their crypto assets include approximately 70,000 Bitcoins (worth $4.48 billion), as well as substantial Ethereum, Filecoin, and other digital assets.
Gemini remains one of the world's most trusted crypto exchanges, with institutional-level security and compliance credentials. Its upcoming IPO is an important step towards integrating with mainstream financial markets.
In February 2025, the brothers became partial shareholders of the English Real Bedford Football Club, investing $4.5 million. Currently in the eighth tier of the English league, they are collaborating with crypto podcast host Peter McCormack to potentially bring this semi-professional team to the Premier League.
Their father Howard donated $4 million in Bitcoin to Grove City College in 2024, the first Bitcoin donation the school has received, to fund the newly named Winklevoss Business School.
The brothers themselves donated $10 million to Greenwich Country Day School, setting a record for alumni donations.
They publicly stated that they would not sell their holdings even if Bitcoin's market value reaches gold levels, indicating their belief that Bitcoin is not just a store of value, but a fundamental reimagining of money itself.
Polymarket airdrop may have a chance, with 10% of tokens potentially distributed to traders. This article analyzes key points for participation to help determine whether and how to get involved. Recommended article:
《Big Opportunity Scheduled, How to Participate in Polymarket Airdrop?》

Before Linea's TGE arrives, Metamask's "Odyssey" activity is already here. How to participate? Is it worth it? Recommended article:

As mentioned earlier, the MetaMask Missions prize pool is only $5,000 per week, with a single reward of $500 and only 10 winners per week. The author's pass NFT minted around 15:25 had a number of 42,600. If the goal is merely to "win a lottery", the cost-effectiveness of participation is very limited. For users who only complete NFT pass minting (one lottery chance per week), the probability is close to zero. To get more lottery chances, each exchange or cross-chain transaction requires a platform fee of 0.875% and gas fees.
However, the community speculates that this activity may be related to a future MetaMask token airdrop. When ConsenSys founder Joseph Lubin responded to a user's question about whether MetaMask would launch a token in June, he stated that ConsenSys has short-term and medium-term strategic plans involving the protocolization of existing products and other projects, and that Web3 protocols typically require token support. Lubin emphasized that LINEA will be the first to launch a token, with more tokens to follow, and protocols will achieve synergy.
