Bitcoin Pizza Day. The slice is yours.

On 22 May 2010 a programmer paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. Wallex marks the day every year with a referral campaign, real pizza and prizes paid in Bitcoin, ending in an invite-only meetup at Wallex HQ in Lekki Phase I. The 2026 edition is complete and winners have been announced. The waitlist for the next one is open.

The story

The most expensive pizza in history.

22 May 2010

Laszlo Hanyecz trades 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. At the time the coins were worth about forty dollars.

Since then

Those same coins would be worth hundreds of millions. Most people remember what he lost. Wallex points at what he proved: Bitcoin could buy something real.

Every 22 May

Wallex runs an eight-day referral campaign with a live leaderboard, then hosts winners in person for pizza in Lekki.

2026 edition

Complete. Winners announced and prizes paid. The waitlist decides who gets first access next time.

How the campaign works

  • Download the Wallex app on iOS or Android
  • Complete instant KYC, which is required to take part
  • Register for the campaign and share your referral link
  • Every verified referral moves you up a live leaderboard

The prize stack

  • First place: $200 in BTC, VIP pizza pack and an in-person invite
  • Second and third: $100 and $50 in BTC, plus pizza vouchers
  • Fourth to tenth: $25 in BTC each, with automatic invites
  • Ten random winners: $10 in BTC each, from three referrals up

Prize tiers and requirements are set and verified by Wallex. Cryptocurrency prizes may be taxable where you live.

Learn what powers this

A referral campaign that pays out in Bitcoin is not a novelty. It runs on wallets, stablecoin rails, KYC and settlement, which is exactly what our School of Web3 teaches: blockchain development, smart contracts, and how crypto and DeFi actually move money.
