Binance Pizza Day: Celebrating the First Bitcoin Transaction
Binance Pizza Day is celebrated every year on May 22 to honor a historic moment in the world of cryptocurrency. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer from Florida, made the first-ever real-world transaction using Bitcoin. He paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas—marking the first time Bitcoin was used to purchase a physical product.
Though the value of those Bitcoins would be worth millions today, the transaction symbolized a major breakthrough. It showed that digital currencies could be used in everyday life, sparking the beginning of Bitcoin's journey as a global financial revolution.
Binance, one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, celebrates this day annually as "Binance Pizza Day." The company hosts various events, giveaways, and promotions to raise awareness about the origins of cryptocurrency and encourage its adoption.
More than just about pizza, Binance Pizza Day reminds us how far the crypto world has come—from a single transaction for pizza to a multi-trillion-dollar industry. It’s a day to celebrate innovation, community, and the growing impact of decentralized finance.
