Bitget marked Bitcoin Pizza Day with a large-scale celebration by distributing more than 5,000 pizzas across over 20 cities. The event honored the first real-world Bitcoin transaction, now valued at over $1 billion.
The date commemorates May 22, 2010, when Laszlo Hanyecz spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas. At the time, the coins were worth just $41. Today, with Bitcoin trading at $105,000 per unit, the same amount equals more than $1.05 billion.
Between those dates, Bitget hosted pizza-themed parties in Abuja, Cape Town, Florence, Mexico City, Metro Manila, and Ho Chi Minh City. Many individuals participated in the events, enjoying free pizza and discussing how Bitcoin and decentralized finance had evolved.
