Bitcoin Pizza Day 2026 Values 10,000 BTC at $770 Million Near $77K

On May 22, 2026, Bitcoin Pizza Day marked its 16th anniversary with the original 10,000 BTC now valued at roughly $770 million at prices around $77,000, reflecting a 29.7% year-over-year drop from $1.1 billion in 2025. The milestone followed LBank’s May 18 futures trading competition offering up to 80,000 USDT in prizes and Unchained’s May 21 community events and retirement promotions across ten U.S. cities. Despite long-term gains since the 2010 transaction at $0.0041, Q1 ETF outflows and a 22.2% quarterly decline leave sentiment cautiously bearish as recovery efforts continue.
