Winklevoss Twins Invest £3.6M in Real Bedford FC

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss have made a significant investment in Real Bedford FC, acquiring a 45% stake for £3.58 million ($4.5 million) as part of their ambition to transform the club into a competitive force, potentially reaching the Premier League. The investment was finalized recently, following an initial announcement in April, and will see the twins take an active role in the club's operations alongside majority owner Peter McCormack, who has been pivotal in the club's rise through the tiers of English football. Real Bedford, currently in the eighth tier, has experienced back-to-back promotions and seeks to emulate the success of Wrexham AFC, which has garnered attention for its own rise from non-league football. The Winklevoss brothers, known for their early involvement in cryptocurrency, view this venture as the 'ultimate underdog story' and are motivated by the potential to upset the established order in English football. Their investment aligns with a growing trend of American ownership in English football, highlighting the allure of the sport's unique league structure. The brothers' vision is to leverage their experience in business and cryptocurrency to help Real Bedford achieve unprecedented heights.
