Bitcoin 2025 has made history in Las Vegas at the Venetian Resort. In just eight hours on May 28, a record-setting 4,187 Bitcoin point-of-sale transactions were completed, earning an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title. The achievement was powered by real-world usage of the Lightning Network, turning the conference into a live demonstration of Bitcoin’s role as a working payment system.
Lightning payments dominate the show floor on Day 1
Attendees used limited edition Bolt Cards to make contactless payments across the entire event. Food vendors, merch booths, and branded activations all accepted Bitcoin instantly using Lightning. Whether grabbing coffee or picking up gear from the Bitcoin Magazine Store, users experienced seamless tap-to-pay functionality without ever touching fiat.

Organizers tracked transaction totals across a fixed eight-hour window. The confirmed count of 4,187 Lightning-powered sales was verified and certified by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™, setting a new global benchmark. This wasn’t a test. These were real transactions, at scale, executed live by thousands of attendees moving through the conference floor.
