Gemini’s Bitcoin Drone Show Sets New Guinness World Record

• Gemini’s 1,000-drone display at SXSW set a new Guinness World Record for the largest aerial currency symbol, showcasing Bitcoin’s rising influence.
• The Bitcoin light show included visuals of a woolly mammoth, linking to Gemini’s investment in Colossal Biosciences’ de-extinction research.
• President Trump’s executive order established a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, reinforcing Bitcoin’s strategic importance in national financial policy.

A Bitcoin-themed drone show illuminated the night sky in Austin, Texas, setting a new Guinness World Record. Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, orchestrated the aerial display at South by Southwest (SXSW).

The event showcased 1,000 drones creating the Bitcoin symbol to symbolize a strategic Bitcoin reserve established as per President Donald Trump’s executive order.

Guinness Recognizes Record-Breaking Display

The drone performance lasted for twenty minutes while Sky Elements from Fort Worth produced it as an expert in drone light displays. The Guinness World Record organization verified and endorsed this achievement because it became the biggest display of any currency symbol through aerial technology. On March 14, Gemini posted an image of the event along with its Guinness World Record certificate, captioned “Proof of Record.”

The display included more than just the Bitcoin symbol. The drones also created visuals of spaceships launching, an astronaut placing an American flag on Mars, and a woolly mammoth. Artist Matt Griffin designed the mammoth figure to represent Gemini’s connection with Colossal Biosciences. The Winklevoss twins earlier put $15 million into funding the de-extinction startup that works toward reintroducing extinct creatures including the woolly mammoth.

Message Reinforces Bitcoin’s Potential

As part of the drone show, the phrase “Go where the dollars won’t” appeared in lights. The statement referenced Gemini’s marketing campaign from November, promoting Bitcoin’s resilience. The message gained renewed significance following the announcement of the strategic Bitcoin reserve, a move that reinforced Bitcoin’s role in national finance.

Following the White House Crypto Summit on March 7, President Trump signed an executive order establishing a national strategic Bitcoin reserve. The U.S. federal government, which reportedly holds around 200,000 BTC, will use the reserve as part of a broader digital asset stockpile. In response, a U.S. congressman is preparing to introduce a bill ensuring the reserve remains intact and cannot be revoked.
