Binance Celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day With Global Pizza Distribution Campaign

In 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz made history by trading 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas, marking the first documented commercial transaction using the cryptocurrency. Fourteen years later, Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is commemorating this milestone with a global campaign to distribute over 5,000 pizzas to crypto traders and enthusiasts.

The “Bitcoin Pizza Day” celebrations, spanning six days from May 17 to May 22, will take place across 20 countries and five continents, according to communications from Binance sent to Bitcoin.com News. Binance plans to host in-person pizza parties, deploy custom-branded pizza vans, and even enlist notable crypto community members to deliver pizzas via Binance-branded scooters.

The exchange aims to create engaging moments for consumers and community members to interact with the brand and toast to bitcoin’s first real-world purchase.
