Individual Bitcoin Whales

Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss: After a 2008 deal with Mark Zuckerberg for $65 million worth of Facebook stock and cash, the pair founded an angel investment firm. A few years later, they announced that they had purchased about $11 million worth of bitcoin at an average cost of $10 per coin. It is estimated that the Winklevoss twins own ~70,000 BTC.

Tim Draper: The VC giant has been interested in Bitcoin for a while; so much so that he made an initial purchase of 40,000 BTC at the Mt Gox exchange.

Unfortunately, all 40,000 coins were lost in the hack and subsequent bankruptcy. However, in 2014, Mr. Draper purchased 29,656 BTC for $18.7 million at a base cost of about $632 per coin.

Michael Saylor: The founder and chairman of Microstrategy revealed in a tweet in October 2020 that he personally holds 17,732 BTC. It is reasonable to assume that he has since acquired more – becoming a public Bitcoin Bull.
