HONG KONG, May 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On May 22, 2010, a programmer made history by spending 10,000 Bitcoin on two pizzas.
What sounded unbelievable at the time would later become one of the most iconic moments in crypto history. That transaction was the first real-world proof that Bitcoin had value. For the first time, people saw that a decentralized digital currency could be exchanged for something tangible.
