Has anyone done any investigation as to what address this is?

It may be two, ten, or hundreds of addresses. In all likelihood they have it divided among many addresses. There have been discussions on here about the address before and iirc no one determined a particular address with any certainty.

Do you have any links to threads discussing possible winklevoss addresses? I would think they would have their bitcoin at an exchange with someone kind of insurance contract that would guarantee the performance of the exchange so they would not have credit risk at the exchange but could still have privacy

The addresses mentioned in the article Juju posted recently moved all the coins, balance drop to 0. Though it's unlikely to be theirs for said reasons. But still interesting. http://bitcoinrichlist.com/address/1933phfhK3ZgFQNLGSDXvqCn32k2buXY8a?charttype=balanceIt's also funny how Winklevoss made no mention of ETF during speech. I wonder if they sold in January last year.

I think someone would only store a large amount in a single address if he has even more cold wallets should always be split, it is safer and if you want to use it,you don't have to move all of your coins

I recall they've said before that they've stored it on a USB so you're not getting at it if it's offline.

All bitcoins even when the private keys are stored offline are still in the blockchain.

Maybe that will change in the future, but as also stated, they have them in somewhat cold storage.

I suspect they have sliced their holdings into 100s of small addresses

1000s surely. 100 address with a total of 150k would still contain 1500 bitcoins EACH! I would split it further to 100btc chunks, and generate 100 at a time with different computers!

Why would one need to know this? Are you planning on sending them money?

It's also funny how Winklevoss made no mention of ETF during speech.
They were interviewed this week and said its still being evaluated for approval. He intimated that they were running into some progress hinderances due to the digital / unique nature of the items involved in the ETF and the groups doing the approval having some issues, thus causing delays. But that overall, the timeline hasn't become any longer or more drawn out than any other typical ETF evaluation process. When asked if they're still buying Bitcoins, they skirted the question and wouldn't answer. -B-

Based on the long term trend of the price of bitcoin, I would somewhat doubt this. If they were buying up bitcoin then there would likely be more buying pressure then there is today.

It would be nice to see them prove they exist before people go and put funds into their ETF.

I don't see any reasons to be concerned about this. Plz let it be. And id they come out, then we can waste few threads on them.
