Speaking with Camila Russo of The Defiant, Tyler and Cameron revealed they held a substantial position in ether.
We definitely own a lot of Ether. They’re large and it’s a material amount, yeah quite large… I think it’s safe to say material by any person’s standard, like anybody’s wealth amount.
The twins continued,
It’s sizeable. A couple of years back we made a concerted effort to buy a lot of Ether.
While the Winklevoss’ did not reveal their exact ether holdings, they hinted it was in the “same universe” and “same galaxy” as their bitcoin holdings.
The Winklevoss Twins, who co-founded the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, have previously made it known that their goal is to hold 1 percent of the world’s total supply of bitcoin. In 2013, the Twins claimed to have more than 120,000 BTC, valued at $1.1 billion at today’s prices.
