Gemini Space Station, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its 2026 virtual annual meeting on June 15, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Investors will elect six directors for one-year terms and consider ratifying Deloitte & Touche LLP as independent auditor for 2026.
As of April 20, 2026, Gemini had 43,999,845 Class A shares with one vote each and 75,126,784 Class B shares with ten votes each, voting together as a single class. Winklevoss Capital Fund LLC holds all Class B shares, giving Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss about 94.5% of total voting power and “controlled company” status under Nasdaq rules.
The proxy details board structure, committee composition and independence, a non‑employee director compensation program built around a $75,000 annual cash retainer plus equity grants, and extensive executive pay. In 2025, each of Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss received a $1 salary and a large performance‑based option award, while former executives Dan Chen, Marshall Beard and Tyler Meade received significant cash salaries and stock or option grants tied to Gemini’s 2025 IPO and long‑term incentives.
