- The Winklevoss twins withdrew 572 BTC worth roughly $42.77 million from Gemini in two separate transactions.
- The move came after about a month of inactivity and followed reports that the brothers sold nearly $130 million in bitcoin during March’s sharp market drop.
The Winklevoss twins appear to be increasing their Bitcoin exposure again, withdrawing more than $42 million worth of BTC from Gemini after a month of relative silence.
According to Arkham Intelligence data, the brothers moved 572 BTC, worth about $42.77 million, off the exchange in two separate transactions. The first transfer involved 372 BTC, valued at roughly $27.86 million. A second transaction followed with another 200 BTC, worth about $14.91 million.
That makes the move hard to dismiss as routine wallet housekeeping. It is their first notable Bitcoin purchase activity in nearly three months and their first meaningful accumulation move after roughly a month of dormancy.
A reversal after heavy March selling
The timing matters because it comes after a very different decision earlier this year. In March 2026, the Winklevoss brothers were reported to have sold nearly $130 million in BTC on Gemini amid heavy market weakness.
At the time, selling was linked to Bitcoin sharp fall from its $120,000 all-time high to around $73,000, a drop of roughly 40%. In that context, the latest withdrawal looks like a clear change in posture.
Bitcoin has since rebounded and moved back above $75,000, and that recovery may well have influenced the brothers’ return to the market.
Exchange outflows still send a familiar signal
Large withdrawals from exchanges are usually read as a sign that the buyer intends to hold rather than sell immediately. Coins moved off-platform typically suggest a shift toward longer-term custody, especially when the wallets involved belong to high-profile market participants.
That does not make the move automatically bullish. Big holders can reposition for many reasons. Still, when investors as closely watched as the Winklevoss twins pull 572 BTC off Gemini after a dormant stretch, the market tends to notice.
