Winklevoss Capital Bitcoin Holdings Decline
Arkham is a blockchain analytics platform that indicates that a wallet belonging to Winklevoss Capital has decreased its exposure to Bitcoin in the last one year. The number of holdings decreased by approximately 23,000 to less than 11,000 BTC of holdings, respectively, between February 2025 and February 2026. The decrease took place in several months. As a result, the change has attracted attention since optimistic expressions in society have accompanied it.
In the meantime, the last disclosure that Gemini made to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission shows its financial course. The exchange anticipates net revenue in the range of $165 to $175 million by 2025, compared to $141 million in 2024. The number of monthly transacting users increased 17 percent annually to approximately 600,000.
Nevertheless, the operating costs that were expected to be incurred went up considerably to between $520 million and $530 million as compared to the previous year of $308 million.
Gemini Cuts Staff as Market Share Narrows
Operational adjustments have succeeded these financial pressures. On 5 Feb., Gemini declared the decision to cut its staff by as much as a quarter. The company also left the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Australia. According to the management, it would focus on the United States and Singapore markets.
A little bit less than two weeks later, the exchange separated with its chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and chief legal officer. Cameron Winklevoss took broader responsibilities even as interim executives took the place of key positions.
Market Share Drops as Gemini Shifts Strategy Amid Weak Sentiment
Another report by Bloomberg further elaborated the position of the company. It has been reported that the global spot market share of Gemini was at 0.1 percent in January, compared to 0.6 percent in June 2025. Also, its market value went down to less than $700 million compared to almost $4 billion at the time of its initial public offering. The company is currently advancing to a platform of prediction markets controlled by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, together with its custody and credit card services.
Meanwhile, broader market conditions continue to pressure the sector, with several Bitcoin miners reducing their treasury holdings. The US spot Bitcoin ETFs have registered successive outflows. The sentiment indicators too have fallen in the extreme fear levels as more people began to search online on whether there is a future for Bitcoin.
The reorganization of Gemini, the downsizing of Bitcoin, and the change of leadership are all indications of pressure that is building up throughout the crypto sector. Meanwhile, its co-founder also holds the view that the worsening sentiment is a long-term positive perspective.
