The Bitcoin Pizza Day dates back to May 22, 2010 and has now achieved holiday status. On that day, the first documented purchase of a commodity with Bitcoins took place. Laszlo Hanyecz, a developer and one of the first Bitcoin users ever, offered to pay 10,000 Bitcoins in a forum if someone would get him a pizza. At that time, a Bitcoin was worth fractions of a cent.

Finally, he bought two pizzas from student Jeremy Sturdivant for a total of 10,000 BTC. The student had the pizzas delivered by Domino’s. At the current price of around 20,000 US dollars, that currently makes around 100 million dollars per pizza. This day went down in history as Bitcoin Pizza Day.
