Binance Pizza Day: Celebrating the First Real-World Bitcoin Transaction
Binance Pizza Day, observed every May 22nd, commemorates a pivotal moment in cryptocurrency history: the first documented real-world transaction using Bitcoin. On this day in 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, marking Bitcoin’s entry into the global economy. At the time, those coins were worth around $41—today, they’re worth millions, symbolizing Bitcoin’s meteoric rise.
To honor this milestone, Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, hosts global events, giveaways, and community challenges. The celebration not only reflects on how far crypto has come but also promotes adoption and education. Binance Pizza Day has become more than a tribute—it’s a celebration of innovation, community, and the limitless potential of decentralized finance.
