In a dazzling display that could only be described as a techno-fueled symphony of lights, Gemini has officially set a new Guinness World Record for the largest aerial display of a currency symbol. Yes, you heard that right—1,000 drones took to the skies to form the Bitcoin symbol, and it was as spectacular as it sounds. 🎉
On the evening of March 13, at precisely 8:10 PM CT (because who doesn’t love a good time stamp?), the crypto exchange decided to throw a party at South by Southwest, or SXSW for those in the know. This wasn’t just any party; it was a Bitcoin (BTC) drone show, celebrating the introduction of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. This momentous occasion came hot on the heels of President Trump signing an executive order to make it all happen. Talk about a night to remember!
The drone extravaganza lasted a full 20 minutes, which is about 19 minutes longer than most of my attempts at adulting. The sky was lit up with the iconic Bitcoin symbol, thanks to a Fort Worth, Texas-based company called Sky Elements. These folks are no strangers to the Guinness World Records, boasting a whopping 12 records already. Clearly, they know how to throw a light show! 💡
On March 14, the Gemini official account took to social media to share a snapshot of the Bitcoin-themed drone show, alongside a picture of their shiny new Guinness World Record certificate. The caption? “Proof of Record.” Because nothing says “we did it!” quite like a certificate that proves you did it. 🏆
But wait, there’s more! The Bitcoin symbol wasn’t the only thing lighting up the night. The drones also conjured up visuals of spaceships blasting off, an astronaut planting the American flag on Mars (because why not?), and—hold onto your hats—a giant woolly mammoth. Yes, you read that correctly. A woolly mammoth! 🦣
This woolly mammoth, crafted by the talented multimedia artist Matt Griffin, is a nod to Gemini’s previous venture. You see, co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss once threw $15 million at Colossal Biosciences, a startup with the ambitious goal of bringing back extinct species. Because if you can’t have a woolly mammoth in your backyard, what’s the point of living?
As if that wasn’t enough, the drones also displayed the cheeky message: “Go where the dollars won’t.” This catchy phrase is the title of Gemini’s out-of-home campaign launched last November, designed to instill confidence in BTC following the strategic Bitcoin reserve news. Because nothing says “trust me” like a swarm of drones spelling out your marketing slogans in the sky!
And let’s not forget the backdrop of this spectacle: just days before, President Trump had signed an executive order establishing a national strategic Bitcoin reserve and a U.S. digital asset stockpile. The reserve is expected to be filled with BTC held by the U.S. federal government, which is estimated to be around 200,000 BTC. That’s a lot of Bitcoin! Who knew the government was so into crypto?
