$BTC Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22nd to commemorate the first known real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two Papa John's pizzas, valued at about $41 USD at the time. He made the purchase through a post on a Bitcoin forum, offering BTC in exchange for someone ordering the pizzas for him.
Though it seemed like a simple transaction then, the event is now iconic, as those 10,000 Bitcoins would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars today. Bitcoin Pizza Day symbolizes how far cryptocurrency has come—from a niche experiment to a major financial and technological force. It’s a reminder of the currency’s humble beginnings and how much it has evolved. Crypto enthusiasts celebrate the day with pizza parties and reflections on Bitcoin's journey and future potential.
