“Here’s one of the more interesting S-1 filings of the year. In a filing with the SEC, the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust, headed by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, said it will sell around $20 million worth of shares, which will each represent a fraction of a single bitcoin, the digital currency the twins have invested in. Bitcoin has become the best known virtual currencies since its release in 2009. The currency was created by a person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto (whose true identity is unknown) and is primarily used by online merchants, though some mostly smaller brick-and-mortar retailers have recently begun to accept bitcoins for payment.”
