Bitrefill’s report comes as the crypto community celebrates the popular Bitcoin Pizza Day. On May 22, 2010, developer and Bitcoin miner Laszlo Hanyecz purchased two Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 BTC, which was worth about $41 at the time.

This was the first documented real-world Bitcoin transaction, and the Bitcoin community celebrates May 22 as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

Hanyecz’s Bitcoins would be worth over $700 million today.
