由卡梅伦·文克莱沃斯和泰勒·文克莱沃斯兄弟创立的加密货币交易所Gemini Space Station Inc.在比特币暴跌前夕上市。该公司表示,在本月初大规模裁员后,三名高管因领导层全面改组而离职。
总部位于纽约的Gemini公司在周二提交的文件中表示,公司首席运营官马歇尔·比尔德(Marshall Beard)、首席财务官陈丹(Dan Chen)和首席法务官泰勒·米德(Tyler Meade)均将立即离职。文件补充称,已同时退出Gemini董事会的比尔德并非因与公司存在分歧而辞职。
Gemini公司表示,目前不打算为比尔德(Beard)任命继任者。公司总裁卡梅伦·文克莱沃斯(Cameron Winklevoss)将接管其部分职责。首席会计官达妮耶拉·斯托亚诺维奇(Danijela Stojanovic)被任命为临时首席财务官,凯特·弗里德曼(Kate Freedman)则将担任临时总法律顾问。
此前,加密货币交易所Gemini于本月早些时候宣布计划裁员高达25%,并逐步关闭在英国、欧盟和澳大利亚的业务。这一举措标志着这家加密货币行业历史最悠久的交易所之一及其亿万富翁联合创始人——该领域两位最受瞩目的人物——的重大战略收缩。
这对兄弟已向支持唐纳德·特朗普及共和党的事业捐赠了数百万美元,其中包括去年以比特币形式向其自建的政治筹款团体提供的2100万美元资金,该团体旨在支持“特朗普总统加密货币议程的拥护者”。此外,加密货币交易所Gemini近月来正寻求拓展加密领域之外的业务,并已获得美国许可证,将可在该国提供预测市场服务。
该交易所于9月中旬上市,首日交易后次日股价飙升至45.89美元的历史高点。但自首次公开募股(IPO)以来,其股价持续下挫,周二早盘跌幅一度达14%,跌至6.50美元,创下去年11月11日以来的最大单日跌幅。
这家公司的发展轨迹反映了加密货币行业的常见模式:企业往往在市场周期顶部附近上市或融资,却在价格下跌时遭遇惨痛收缩。以直接上市方式于2021年4月登陆公开市场的Coinbase全球公司(Coinbase Global Inc.),当时正值比特币前一轮峰值期,但其股价在随后一年内跌幅超过50%。
自10月初触及126,251美元的高点以来,比特币已暴跌逾五分之二,其未能跟随股市和黄金等其他领域的涨势,导致整个加密货币市场陷入动荡。尽管比特币的急剧下跌数月来持续冲击着行业内的各家公司,但Gemini交易所尚未将加密货币市场低迷列为其成本削减战略的影响因素。
文克莱沃斯兄弟在加密货币兴起之初便购入了比特币,并于2014年创立了Gemini交易所。该公司在持加密货币怀疑态度的拜登政府执政期间受到监管审查,但随着特朗普于2024年再度入主白宫,其运势有所好转。
该公司于周二公布了2025年收益的初步数据,预计将报告调整后的税前亏损在2.57亿至2.67亿美元之间。预计净收入将在1.65亿至1.75亿美元之间,截至12月31日,月度交易用户数约为60万。
总运营支出预计在5.2亿至5.3亿美元之间,而去年同期为3.08亿美元。这一增长主要归因于人员相关成本上升,以及在技术、行政开支和市场营销方面的投入。双子星公司尚未公布其财报的具体发布日期。

Gemini Space Station Inc., the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss that went public just before Bitcoins plunge, said three top executives left the company in a sweeping leadership shakeup that followed a broad round of layoffs earlier this month.
The firms Chief Operating Officer Marshall Beard, Chief Financial Officer Dan Chen and Chief Legal Officer Tyler Meade are all leaving the company effective immediately, New York-based Gemini said in a filing on Tuesday. Beard, who has also stepped down from Geminis board of directors, has not resigned as a result of any disagreement with the firm, it added.
Gemini does not intend to appoint a successor to Beard at this time, it said. Instead, President Cameron Winklevoss will assume several of his duties. Danijela Stojanovic, the firms chief accounting officer, has been named interim CFO, while Kate Freedman will become interim general counsel.
The changes come after Gemini said earlier this month that it planned to cut as much as 25% of its workforce and wind down operations in the UK, European Union and Australia. The move marked a major pullback for one of the crypto industrys longest-running exchanges and its billionaire co-founders, two of the sectors most high-profile figures.
The brothers have donated millions of dollars to causes supporting Donald Trump and the Republican Party, including a $21 million offering in Bitcoin to their own political fundraising group for champions of President Trumps crypto agenda, last year. Gemini has also sought to broaden its horizons beyond crypto in recent months, gaining a US license that will allow it to offer prediction markets in the country.
The exchange listed its shares in mid-September, spiking to a record high of $45.89 a day after its debut. The shares have tumbled since the IPO and traded early on Tuesday down as much as 14% at $6.50, its biggest one-day fall since Nov. 11.
The companys trajectory echoes a familiar pattern in the crypto industry: businesses go public or raise capital near the top of a cycle, only to face painful contractions when prices fall. Coinbase Global Inc., which went public through a direct listing in April 2021 near Bitcoins previous peak, saw its shares lose more than 50% of their value over the following year.
Bitcoin has shed over two-fifths of its value since hitting a peak of $126,251 in early October, rattling the broader cryptocurrency market as it fails to latch onto rallies elsewhere in areas like equities and gold. Gemini hasnt mentioned the declining crypto market as a factor in its cost-cutting strategy, though Bitcoins precipitous drop has been impacting firms across the industry for months.
The Winklevoss brothers bought Bitcoin early on in the cryptocurrencys rise, setting up the Gemini exchange in 2014. The company came under regulatory scrutiny during the crypto-skeptic Biden administration, but its fortunes improved when Trump re-took the White House in 2024.
The company released preliminary figures for its 2025 earnings on Tuesday, stating that it expects to report an adjusted loss before tax of between $267 million and $257 million. Net revenue is expected to be between $165 million and $175 million, with approximately 600,000 monthly transacting users as of Dec. 31.
Total operating expenses are expected between $520 million and $530 million, compared to $308 million a year earlier. This is primarily attributed to higher personnel-related costs and investments in technology, administrative expenses and marketing. Gemini has yet to disclose a finalized date for reporting its earnings.
