Bitcoin Pizza Day: what you can buy for 10,000 BTC in 2024

What is Bitcoin Pizza Day

In 2010, the crypto fan and programmer, Laszlo Hanyecz, made the first documented commercial transaction with bitcoin. He bought two Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 BTC on a bitcointalk.org forum. At the time, this huge amount of bitcoins was worth only $41.

During the next years, the price of bitcoin significantly increased, hitting an all-time high of $73,681 on EXMO.com on 14th March 2024. Currently, 10,000 BTC is worth approximately $712,920,000, allowing its holders to buy much more than just two pizzas!
