Tyler Winklevoss announced the launch of Cypherpunk, a company funded with over $50 million from Winklevoss Capital to accumulate Zcash (ZEC) as a privacy and self‑sovereignty treasury, stating the firm currently holds 203,775 ZEC (~1.25% of supply) and plans to reach at least 5% of total supply; the announcement was posted on Nov. 12, 2025. Cypherpunk will buy ZEC rapidly and support privacy‑protecting assets and technologies, positioning Zcash as a privacy hedge alongside bitcoin.

Winklevoss frames privacy as essential to individual freedoms and says Cypherpunk views Zcash as “encrypted bitcoin, or digital cash,” aiming to capitalize on long‑term value and anticipated crypto market growth, including a belief bitcoin may reach $1,000,000 over 5–10 years. The company will publish its investment thesis and next steps in coming weeks; market impact depends on execution and market reception, and holdings and targets are subject to market conditions and regulatory considerations.
