Brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, renowned pioneers of cryptocurrency and co-founders of the Gemini exchange, have reaffirmed their unwavering belief in the potential of Bitcoin. In a recent interview with CNBC on September 12, 2025, coinciding with Gemini's debut on Nasdaq, Tyler stated that $BTC could reach $1 million per coin within the next decade if it displaces gold as the primary store of value.
Calling bitcoin "gold 2.0", the brothers emphasize its fixed supply of 21 million coins, making it a better digital alternative to precious metals. "This is still the beginning of the game," Tyler noted, pointing out that the current price of bitcoin around $116,000 is just an early stage. Cameron added that bitcoin is not intended for everyday transactions like buying coffee, but for long-term value storage, similar to gold bars in a vault.
This forecast is not new for the brothers who became bitcoin billionaires thanks to early investments. Launching Gemini in 2015 when BTC was worth $380, they witnessed a rise of over 30,000%. The Gemini IPO, which raised $425 million at a price of $28 per share and valued the company at $3.3 billion (later $4.4 billion), reflects the growth of institutional adoption. The brothers see bitcoin capturing the multi-billion dollar market capitalization of gold, which will contribute to its exponential growth amid regulatory clarity and the influx of ETFs.
