$BTC Binance Pizza Day: A Global Celebration of Crypto History
Binance Pizza Day is an annual event hosted by Binance to commemorate Bitcoin Pizza Day, which marks the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, a transaction that, at the time, was worth about $41 but is now valued at over $1 billion due to Bitcoin's appreciation .
In 2025, Binance celebrated this milestone with a global campaign featuring a $5 million BTC giveaway—the largest ever by a centralized exchange. The promotion included referral programs, where users could earn up to $20 in BTC per referral, and top referrers had the chance to win up to $5,000 in BTC token vouchers .
Additionally, Binance organized over 26 local meetups and social activations worldwide, bringing together crypto enthusiasts to celebrate Bitcoin's journey from a niche experiment to a global financial asset .
These events not only honor Bitcoin's history but also highlight the ongoing evolution of cryptocurrencies and their increasing role in the global economy.#BinancePizzaDay #Pizzaday2025
