🪙🍕 Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025: From paying for pizzas to moving billions in the financial world
On May 22, a date that is already legendary in the crypto ecosystem is celebrated: Bitcoin Pizza Day, commemorating the first recorded purchase with this cryptocurrency.
In 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins —today equivalent to more than 1.07 billion dollars— for two pizzas from Papa John’s.
That moment marked the birth of bitcoin as a commercial tool. Since its creation in 2009 by the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto, bitcoin has undergone a meteoric evolution.
In 2025, its price hovers around USD $110,000, after reaching an all-time high of USD $111,000 during the early hours of today.
Bitcoin Pizza Day not only recalls an anecdote. It is an opportunity to reflect on the transformation of the global financial system. This milestone has contributed to the digitization of money and the opening of new economic alternatives for millions of people.
