Gemini: Capital Raising
Gemini founders (Winklevoss twins) made a $100M strategic Bitcoin investment into their own company at $14/share, well above market price (~$5). Q1 2026 showed 42% YoY revenue growth with improving losses ($109M vs $141M prior year), signaling confidence in turnaround after brutal 2025 that included 25% workforce cuts, market exits, and C-suite departures.
