Binance Pizza Day is an annual celebration organized by Binance to commemorate the first real-world transaction involving Bitcoin. On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made history by purchasing two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins, marking a significant milestone in cryptocurrency history .
In 2023, Binance hosted a series of global events to celebrate this occasion. These included in-person gatherings in cities like Naples, Phnom Penh, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and various locations in Pakistan, where participants engaged in pizza-making contests and community meetups . Additionally, Binance organized online activities such as the “Collect & Win” campaign, allowing users to win the BTC equivalent of a year’s supply of pizza by completing specific tasks .
Binance Pizza Day has become a tradition that not only honors the origins of Bitcoin but also fosters community engagement through various interactive events and promotions.
