Binance Pizza Day: Celebrating the First Real Bitcoin Transaction
Binance Pizza Day commemorates a historic moment in the crypto world — the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, marking the first time Bitcoin was used to purchase a tangible item. At the time, 10,000 BTC was worth around $41, but today, it would be worth millions. This event demonstrated Bitcoin’s potential as a medium of exchange and not just a digital experiment.
Every year on May 22, Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, celebrates this day to honor Bitcoin’s journey and growth. Binance Pizza Day is more than just a nod to history — it includes community events, giveaways, charity initiatives, and educational content to promote blockchain awareness and adoption.
The celebration aims to reflect on how far crypto has come and to engage users in meaningful and fun ways. Binance also uses the occasion to highlight the importance of financial freedom, decentralization, and innovation in the blockchain space.
Binance Pizza Day reminds us that a simple pizza purchase once started a financial revolution — and that crypto is here to stay.
