Bitcoin Pizza Day 2025: Full List of Events Across the Philippines

To mark the 15th anniversary of the first real-world Bitcoin transaction this year, multiple web3 communities from CryptoPH are gearing up to host their own commemorative events. Throwback: What is Bitcoin Pizza Day? On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, a Florida, U.S.-based programmer and early Bitcoin contributor, made history by completing the first known real-world $BTC transaction. He offered 10,000 $BTC on the Bitcointalk.org forum in exchange for two large pizzas. The transaction was fulfilled by 19-year-old Jeremy Sturdivant (aka 4Jercos”), who purchased two Papa John’s pizzas for $25 and had them delivered to Hanyecz’s home. In return, Hanyecz transferred the 10,000 BTC to Sturdivant—making it the first documented exchange of Bitcoin for a tangible good. Although the pizzas were not directly purchased with BTC from a business, this peer-to-peer deal has since become a milestone in crypto history. The value of the 10,000 BTC would be worth billions today, giving rise to Bitcoin Pizza Day, commemorated every May 22 to mark Bitcoin’s evolution from an obscure digital asset to a global financial force.
