The Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler, have made a significant investment of $4.5 million into Real Bedford Football Club, marking a notable event in the sports and cryptocurrency sectors. This investment, announced by various sources including the club itself, Winklevoss Capital, and BitcoinNewsCom, positions the twins as co-owners alongside Peter McCormack. The funds, partly aimed at establishing a Bitcoin treasury for the team, represent the largest investment ever made into a football club in the UK outside of professional leagues.
