Winklevoss Twins Predict $1 Million Bitcoin as Gemini Goes Public
The Winklevoss twins are making headlines again, this time with a bold prediction for Bitcoin’s future. As their crypto exchange Gemini began trading on the Nasdaq, Tyler Winklevoss said he believes Bitcoin could hit $1 million within the next decade.
Gemini Makes Its Market Debut
Gemini launched publicly under the ticker GEMI. Shares opened around $28 and saw early gains, pushing the company’s valuation to roughly $4.4 billion. The listing marks a major moment for the company, which was founded back in 2014 when crypto was still far from the mainstream.
Winklevoss Twins Call for $1 Million Bitcoin Price
Gemini’s IPO gives them a $4.4B valuation, but the bigger headline is their conviction: Bitcoin as gold 2.0 heading toward $1M within the next decade.
Bitcoin is currently trading above $116,000. That number gives their claim some context. Ten years ago, Bitcoin was worth a few hundred dollars. The twins were among the earliest to see its long-term potential. Today’s price is a reminder that what once sounded far-fetched can sometimes become reality.
Why They Still Think Bitcoin Has Room to Grow
The twins believe Bitcoin can go even further because of its potential to replace gold as a long-term store of value. Tyler explained that Bitcoin does not need to be used for everyday payments to have value. It just needs to be trusted as a way to hold wealth over time.
From their point of view, even at current prices, Bitcoin is still early in its life cycle. They think we are in the early stages of something much bigger. If adoption grows and people begin to treat Bitcoin as a serious asset, they say the price could rise ten times from here.

Not Everyone Agrees
Their prediction is definitely on the high side. Some market analysts see slower growth, pointing to regulation and market volatility as reasons to be cautious. Still, the Winklevoss twins have a history of placing long bets, and this is another one.
Store of Value, Not Daily Use
Cameron Winklevoss made it clear that they do not see Bitcoin becoming the new dollar. Instead, they compare it to gold. It is not something you spend at the store. It is something you hold onto when you want protection against inflation or currency risk.
Going public gives Gemini a bigger platform and more transparency. Investors will be watching closely as the company grows and navigates a highly regulated space. The twins will also be in the spotlight as their price prediction follows them into the public market.
A Long-Term View
Whether or not Bitcoin reaches $1 million, the twins are placing their bet on time. They believe history is on their side. For now, their prediction adds another layer to the ongoing debate about Bitcoin’s place in the world of finance. The future, as always in crypto, remains wide open.
