Gemini founder father of Winklevoss brothers donates $4 million worth of BTC to alma mater

Howard Winklevoss, the father of twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and Gemini founders, has donated $4 million worth of Bitcoin to his alma mater, GroveCity College. This is the first time the college has received a donation in Bitcoin that will be used to fund new business courses. Howard Winklevoss first invested in Bitcoin in 2013, considering it "a non-governmental, fixed-supply digital currency, in short, a sound currency that functions like email." Tyler Winklevoss said his father's experience studying at GroveCity College, which will officially name the business school "Winklevoss Business School" in a ceremony in November, had a profound impact on their brother's understanding of bitcoin.
