Tim Draper flies to Reykjavík the week of a key Bitcoin event

Tim Draper flew from Reid-Hillview Airport in San Jose, California, to Reykjavík Domestic Airport early Thursday, May 21, 2026, a trip of just under eight hours in his Gulfstream G550, tail N550DA.

The arrival comes the same week as Blockchain Iceland 2026, a multi-day conference in Reykjavík that gathers cryptocurrency investors, developers, and policymakers. As an early and prominent Bitcoin bull, Draper is a fixture at such gatherings; his presence in Iceland aligns with the conference's agenda, which includes panels on Bitcoin adoption and regulatory frameworks, as covered by local tech news outlets.

Draper, a third-generation venture capitalist and founder of Draper Associates, has a history of flying to international hubs for crypto and blockchain summits. This trip follows recent domestic hops between Los Angeles and San Jose, and a visit to Vancouver in mid-May, suggesting he has been working through a busy spring calendar before heading overseas for the week's events.
