A non-league football club has finalised an investment deal with two major cryptocurrency investors.
Real Bedford FC, currently in the eighth tier of English football, has received £3.5m from Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
The team is in discussions to merge with Bedford Town, which is in the seventh tier.
Bitcoin podcaster Peter McCormack bought Real Bedford - then in the 10th tier and called Bedford FC - in January 2022 as part of his plan to grow the town's football ambitions.
The tech twins announced their intention to make the investment in April 2024 after currency exchange Gemini started its sponsorship in January 2022.
