Gemini announced on May 14, 2026, that Winklevoss Capital Fund closed a $100 million strategic investment in exchange for 7,142,857 shares of Class A common stock at $14 per share, with payment made in bitcoin. The investment supports liquidity, product development, and strategic initiatives as Gemini expands from a crypto company into a markets company. Gemini received a DCO license from the CFTC in April 2026, becoming one of few crypto-native platforms holding both DCM and DCO licenses. The company launched agentic trading tools allowing AI agents to autonomously trade and manage risk. Cameron Winklevoss stated the investment reflects conviction that Gemini stock is significantly undervalued at current levels.
