Gemini Sets Guinness World Record with Bitcoin Drone Display at SXSW

Gemini, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, achieved a new Guinness World Record for the largest aerial display of a currency symbol, using 1,000 drones to form the iconic Bitcoin symbol during a 20-minute show at South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, on March 13, 2025, at 8:10 PM CT.

This spectacular event, hosted to celebrate the U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve established by President Donald Trump’s recent executive order, lit up the night sky with curated visuals, including spaceships blasting off, an astronaut planting the American flag on Mars, and a giant woolly mammoth.

The drones, provided by Sky Elements, a Fort Worth, Texas-based company with 12 prior Guinness World Records, showcased Gemini’s commitment to Bitcoin’s cultural significance. On March 14, Gemini shared a photo of the Bitcoin-themed drone display and its newly acquired Guinness certificate on its official account, captioned “Proof of Record,” with the certificate stating, “The largest aerial display of a currency symbol formed by multirotor/drones was achieved by Gemini (USA) in Austin, Texas, USA on 13 March 2025.” Stay informed on crypto cultural milestones with Crypto Market Insights on news.thecoininfo.com, and explore in-depth analysis on The Coin Info Hub at thecoininfo.com.

The woolly mammoth imagery, designed by renowned multimedia artist Matt Griffin, ties to Gemini’s earlier $15 million investment in Colossal Biosciences, a de-extinction startup focused on genetically engineering living animals resembling extinct species like the woolly mammoth, co-founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.

The drones also displayed Gemini’s campaign slogan, “Go where the dollars won’t,” launched in November 2024 to boost confidence in Bitcoin following Trump’s March 7 executive order creating a national strategic Bitcoin reserve and U.S. digital asset stockpile, utilizing approximately 200,000 BTC held by the federal government. This record-breaking event underscores Bitcoin’s growing mainstream acceptance, especially amid its recent price volatility below $80,000 and broader market uncertainties like U.S. tariffs, reinforcing Gemini’s leadership in the crypto space. For crypto enthusiasts, this milestone highlights Bitcoin’s cultural impact, but its long-term value depends on regulatory support and market stability, with resources like Crypto News Updates on news.thecoininfo.com keeping you updated on this iconic moment.
