Every year on May 22nd, the global crypto community celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day—an iconic and lighthearted moment in cryptocurrency history. On this day in 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz completed the first-ever real-world transaction using Bitcoin by purchasing two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. Back then, the value of that Bitcoin was about $41. Today, it would be worth millions, making it arguably the most expensive pizza ever bought.
This event marks the start of Bitcoin’s transformation from a small-scale digital idea to a worldwide financial revolution. It’s a powerful reminder of how far the crypto industry has progressed in just over a decade. In recent years, top crypto platforms like Binance have embraced Bitcoin Pizza Day as a symbol of progress and community engagement.
Binance, one of the largest global cryptocurrency exchanges, celebrates the occasion with events, giveaways, and educational efforts to promote blockchain awareness and adoption. Bitcoin Pizza Day is more than just a fun story—it reflects the bold innovation and early belief that laid the groundwork for today’s decentralized financial systems.
As digital assets gain more recognition and use, this day serves as a tribute to those who helped launch the crypto movement and to platforms pushing it forward. $BTC
