Bitcoin 2025 Sets Guinness Record for Lightning Transactions

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.

Record-breaking volume proves Bitcoin is ready for daily use

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.

Bitcoin 2025 opens with massive global engagement

The conference is drawing over 35,000 participants and features more than 400 exhibitors and 500 speakers. Builders, investors, and innovators from across the globe gathered to witness and participate in the real-world application of Bitcoin. This record wasn’t just set by the organizers—it was powered by the people who showed up ready to transact.

Las Vegas becomes a proving ground for Bitcoin adoption

As vendors handled nonstop volume, the Lightning Network delivered instant settlement with zero delays. The experience showcased not only speed but reliability. In a high-pressure environment with continuous foot traffic, Bitcoin performed without failure. The record validates what many already believe: Bitcoin isn’t just sound money—it’s spendable money.

Momentum continues through the rest of the event

What began on Day 1 has only amplified the energy around the entire show. Momentum is building as more attendees experience the ease of Lightning payments firsthand. Expect continued volume and attention as Bitcoin 2025 rolls forward with a packed agenda and nonstop activity across the venue.
