To complete the transaction, Hanyecz had to find a willing seller who was prepared to accept Bitcoin as payment. After some searching, he managed to find someone who was interested in the deal. The two parties agreed on a price of ₿10,000 for the pizzas.

In honor of this historic event, May 22 has been celebrated as "Bitcoin Pizza Day" ever since. It serves as a reminder of how far Bitcoin has come since its inception and the potential it has for the future.

Laszlo Hanyecz decided to use his bitcoin to purchase something tangible. He chose to buy two pizzas from Papa John's. This was a bold move, as bitcoin was still a relatively unknown and untrusted digital currency at that time.
