On Saturday, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, co-founders of the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange, announced a substantial investment of $4.5 million worth of Bitcoin into Real Bedford FC, a football club based in the United Kingdom.

The Winklevoss brothers have assumed co-ownership roles alongside McCormack, who acquired the club in 2021. This marks the largest single investment ever made into a football club in the United Kingdom outside of the professional leagues, according to a press release.
