On May 22, 2025, Bitcoin achieved a
historic milestone by surpassing $110,000, coinciding with the 15th anniversary
of Bitcoin Pizza Day.
Bitcoin reached
an all-time high of $110,505, driven by several factors:
Regulatory
Optimism
Progress on
U.S. cryptocurrency legislation, including a bipartisan bill focusing on
stablecoin regulation, has bolstered investor confidence.
Institutional Inflows
Investments
from institutional players, such as the BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust, which
saw $6.5 billion in inflows over the past month, have contributed to the surge.
Macroeconomic Factors
A weakening U.S. dollar, following fiscal concerns and a downgrade
of the U.S. credit rating by Moody's, has led investors to seek alternative
assets like Bitcoin.
Celebrating Bitcoin Pizza Day
Bitcoin Pizza Day commemorates May 22,
2010, when Laszlo Hanyecz made the first real-world Bitcoin transaction by
purchasing two pizzas for 10,000 BTC, now valued at nearly $1 billion.
Global Celebrations Include:
Bitget distributed over 5,000 pizzas
across more than 20 cities worldwide, including events in cities like Lisbon,
Barcelona, and Ho Chi Minh City.
BTCC Exchange launched
a $52,000 USDT giveaway and hosted a beach party in Monaco in partnership with
PizzaDAO.
HTX offered
nearly $1 million in rewards through various promotions and events, celebrating
both Bitcoin Pizza Day and a concurrent Trump Dinner event.
These celebrations highlight the
journey of Bitcoin from a niche digital currency to a mainstream financial
asset.
