Guinness World Records acknowledged the feat
As part of its celebration of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiative, Gemini’s drone show included visuals of a rocket launch and a moon landing, leading up to the iconic Bitcoin “₿” symbol. The display was accompanied by the bold message: “Go where dollars won’t.”
Gemini, through their official X handle, described the event as a tribute to Bitcoin’s growing influence in the financial world.
“In celebration of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, we’re hosting a Guinness World Record-breaking drone show,” the company stated. “The show explores the future of money and features the Bitcoin ‘₿’ as the largest currency symbol in the sky.”
Guinness World Records officially acknowledged the feat, awarding Gemini a certificate for “The largest aerial display of a currency symbol formed by multirotor drones.”
SEC ends investigation into Gemini
In addition, Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has closed its investigation into the exchange without filing any charges.
“This marks another milestone in the end of the war on crypto,” Winklevoss said, referencing the SEC’s recent decisions to drop cases against Coinbase, Robinhood, Uniswap, and OpenSea.
He emphasised that while these dismissals represent progress, they do not erase the industry’s challenges. “The damage inflicted on the broader U.S. crypto ecosystem cannot be undone overnight,” he added.

Bitcoin adoption on the rise
Meanwhile, companies’ interest in Bitcoin continues to grow. Japanese firm Metaplanet added 162 BTC to its holdings, bringing its total to 3,050 BTC.
Also, Video-sharing platform Rumble acquired 188 BTC, reinforcing its belief in Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
But, Hive Blockchain reduced its Bitcoin reserves, selling a portion to invest in hydro-powered mining infrastructure in Paraguay. Despite this, the adoption trend of the peer-to-peer electronic cash system remains strong.
However, the event in Austin underscores Bitcoin’s growing mainstream acceptance and the crypto industry’s resilience.
