What is Bitcoin Pizza Day?
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated on May 22 each year to commemorate the first popular real-world transaction using BTC. On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins for two St John’s pizzas, which at the time was worth about $41.
This event marked one of the earliest instances of BTC being used as a medium of exchange for goods and services. Since then, the day has become symbolic within the cryptocurrency community, highlighting BTC’s advancement to a recognized form of currency by individuals, institutions and governments worldwide.
Following the significant developments around the largest crypto asset by market capitalization in 2024, including the fourth bitcoin halving and approval of several spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States and Hong Kong, global crypto communities are eager to celebrate the 14th Bitcoin Pizza Day.
