Tim Draper flew from Nashville International Airport to Lawrence Municipal Airport on June 5, a 1-hour-57-minute hop aboard his Gulfstream G550, N550DA. The trip comes a day after he wrapped up the WAGMI Ventures conference in Nashville, an event focused on Web3 and Bitcoin adoption, where Draper was a featured speaker.

Draper is a longtime Bitcoin maximalist, and the Nashville conference aligns with his public advocacy for the cryptocurrency. Lawrence, Massachusetts, is not a known Draper home base, but the city sits about 30 miles north of Boston, a hub for venture capital and technology firms. The short flight suggests a business meeting or investor gathering in the Greater Boston area.

The flight continues a pattern of frequent travel: in the past two weeks, Draper has crisscrossed the U.S. and flown to Iceland and Scotland, per recent flight data. His Gulfstream G550, registered as N550DA, is a common sight at KSJC in San Jose, his home base, and other tech-heavy destinations such as KAUS and KIAD.
