On 22 May 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made Bitcoin history when he paid 10,000 bitcoin for two pizzas.
At the time, it was a simple experiment: could Bitcoin actually be used to buy something in the real world?
The answer was yes.
Years later, that pizza order has become one of Bitcoin’s most famous stories; part celebration, part cautionary tale, and part reminder that Bitcoin has come a long way.
So this Bitcoin Pizza Day, HardBlock is marking the occasion with something a little different.
We’re calling it:
Pizza Day Delivery: 10,000 Sats
For Bitcoin Pizza Day 2026, HardBlock is delivering 10,000 bonus sats to eligible customers.
There are two ways to be eligible*:
- 21 existing stackers
- 21 new Bitcoiners
Each eligible customer receives 10,000 bonus sats, credited to their verified HardBlock account.
Pizza is temporary. Sats are forever.
What is Bitcoin Pizza Day?
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated each year on 22 May.
It marks the day Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas in 2010. It was one of the first well-known real-world purchases made using Bitcoin.
At the time, the transaction helped show that Bitcoin could be exchanged for real goods and services.
Today, the story is remembered for a different reason too: it shows how much Bitcoin’s value, adoption, and cultural significance have changed over time.
Bitcoiners remember Pizza Day because it captures something important about Bitcoin: what seems small today can look very different with time.
What are Sats?
A “Sat” is short for Satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin.
There are 100,000,000 sats in one bitcoin.
So instead of always thinking in whole bitcoins, many people think in sats.
That’s where phrases like “stacking sats” come from. It simply means gradually adding small amounts of Bitcoin over time.
This Pizza Day, we’re helping eligible HardBlock customers add a bonus 10,000 sats to their stack.
