Community and innovation have been central pillars in the evolution of crypto. At Gemini, we believe that leaning into those core attributes is crucial to the growth of our industry as we help guide it toward the ultimate goal of providing financial independence and empowerment to users around the globe.

As a company committed to unlocking the next era of financial, creative, and personal freedom, we are more excited than ever to continue our support for Real Bedford FC, one of the most innovative and dynamic sports teams in the world.

Building With Bitcoin in the Real World

Based in Bedford, England, Real Bedford FC currently competes in the Premier Division of the Spartan South Midlands League, following a successful 2022-2023 season that saw the team secure promotion and 1st place in Division One of the Spartan South Midlands League and the Beds County Cup.

The club was purchased in 2022 by Bitcoin enthusiast and podcaster Peter McCormack, who aims to guide the club to the English Premier League.

By accepting bitcoin at the club for tickets, merchandise and refreshments, the club aims to build support across the Bitcoin community. Through experience, focus, mental strength, hard work, and some luck, the club is pushing for another promotion this year.

Additionally, the club has partnered with Bedford Girls and Ladies who now play as Real Bedford Ladies and have 23 teams ranging from under 7s to the senior team. Having won their first two games of the season, they too are pushing for promotion to the fourth tier of the ladies game.

Partnering With Bar-Raisers for the Long Term

Real Bedford FC’s dream to reach the top flight of English football is certainly a lofty goal. If the past decade and more of crypto’s existence has taught us anything, it’s that perseverance, imagination, and community can lead to unprecedented heights. We see those same traits in Real Bedford FC, and we’re thrilled to be along for the ride.

As the team’s principal partner, we are excited to support a club that lives and breathes Bitcoin, and are looking forward to accompanying their progress. Experiencing the passion that drives Real Bedford FC to succeed makes us proud to support these talented football players and fans.

Onward and Upward!
