If the Winklevoss twins put the whole settlement in bitcoin
In 2013, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss revealed they had used much of their $65M Facebook settlement to buy bitcoin. The specific claim repeated for years: "We bought at around $10". By mid-2013, one bitcoin cost roughly $100.
Suppose all $11 million — the cash portion of their settlement — went in at the June 2013 month-end close of $89. That stake today would be worth $8.53B.
They did buy early, and they did hold. Whether they bought exactly this much at exactly this price is known only to them — this is the scenario, not the biography.
FAQ
How is this number computed?
The figure uses the same historical closing-price data as the calculators: the relevant ticker's month-end close at the scenario's start, compared with the latest available month-end close, with splits and dividends handled per the methodology page.
What if I change the amount?
Every figure scales linearly: double the starting amount and every dollar figure doubles. Use the ticker's calculator page for exact-date precision and dollar-cost averaging.
Is this investment advice?
No. These are historical calculations for entertainment and education. Past performance never guarantees future results.
Every figure is computed from the same historical data the calculators use (see methodology). Not financial advice.
