Winklevoss twins invest $4.5M of BTC to co-own Bitcoin soccer club

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have become co-owners of Real Bedford Football Club (RBFC), a Bitcoin podcast hosted by Peter McCormack, after investing $4.5 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) to support the club’s plans. The Winklevoss twins made the investment through their investment firm, Winklevoss Capital, according to a recent statement. The funds will be used to create a Bitcoin treasury for the club, which McCormack says will protect the club against long-term fiat currency depreciation. The investment will also contribute to the club’s infrastructure and growth. The funds will be used to develop a new training center and provide ongoing support for girls’ and youth football. McCormack, who acquired RBFC in 2021, aims to see the club compete in the English Premier League. The Winklevoss twins share this vision and believe in the power of Bitcoin to help RBFC achieve its goals. They see their investment as more than just supporting a football club; they see it as an investment in the dream of bringing Premier League football to Bedford. This news comes shortly after the Winklevoss twins donated $4.9 million to the Fairshake super political action committee to support pro-cryptocurrency candidates in the upcoming US elections.
