Today, the Crypto community celebrates historic Bitcoin Pizza Day, recording 15 years since the first documented real-world Bitcoin (BTC) transaction. On May 22, 2010, Florida programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas at Papa John’s.
At the time, the coin was worth around $41 (BTC≈0.004 each). In 2025, these pizzas are the most expensive meals in history.
Bitcoin continues to peak at its highest ever high, with its latest Asian trading hours above $111,700. This means that 10,000 Bitcoins are valued at over $1.1 billion. With this large amount, the possibilities are as limitless as luxury. Here are the things you can buy 10,000 BTC in May 2025:
Celebrating Bitcoin Pizza Day: How can you use 10,000 BTC now?
To nod to the original purchase, it is appropriate to calculate exactly how many pizzas 10,000 BTC can buy. Beincrypto data showed that the BTC trade price was $111,504 at the time of reporting.
So, assuming that the average cost of a large pizza is $20, you can buy a big pizza with $1.1 billion, about 55.7 million. This is a far cry from the two pizzas that were acquired in 2010. In particular, the money is sufficient to fund larger and more luxurious purchases.
From pizza to palace: 10,000 bitcoin real estate power
With $1.1 billion, you can get some of the most exclusive and expensive properties in the world. The real estate market in 2025 continues to show resilience as major locations such as Monaco and London are leading premium prices, as the real estate market is limited in concentration and supply of wealth. Some examples are:
Xanadu 2.0: Bill Gates’s mansion in Washington is worth $127 million and is a marvel with 66,000 square feet of living space. 10,000 BTC can buy eight mansions like Gates, with still remaining $99 million. Odeon Tower Penthouse: This is one of the most expensive homes in Monaco. With 10,000 BTC you can own three of these 31,500 square feet penthouses. One Hyde Park: This luxurious home construction near Buckingham Palace features the world’s most expensive apartments. One penthouse is estimated to be worth $209 million, but with Bitcoin it’s very easy to own five penthouses.
Hypercar fleet that can be constructed with Bitcoin
The world of automobiles in 2025 is dominated by luxury cars and ultra-luxurious vehicles, reflecting bespoke design, limited production and advanced engineering.
Rolls-Royce La Rose Noire Droptail: this It is one of the most expensive cars in the world and costs $30 million. It features a monocoque chassis made of aluminum, steel and carbon fibers inspired by dark red baccarat roses. 10,000 BTC can exceed 37 of these. Bugatti La Voite Noire: For $18.7 million, this hypercar is a tribute to the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, allowing for over 59 purchases. Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta: Retaining 10,000 BTC allows you to get a collection of over 65 of these hypercars.
The Limit of the Sky: How Bitcoin funds superyachts and private jets
The 2025 luxury yachts and private jets represent the pinnacle of wealth, with prices reflecting their size, amenities and exclusiveness. With 10,000 bitcoins you can own some of the world’s most expensive ships and jets.
Scheherazade: Valued at $700 million, this 140 metre superyacht is one of the longest motor yachts in the world. After purchasing, there is about $415 million left. Koru: This 230-foot yacht, owned by Jeff Bezos, features towering masts and holds the title of the world’s tallest sailing ship. With 10,000 bitcoins you can buy almost two of these iconic yachts. Air Force 1: Bitcoin, which once bought two pizzas, was able to theoretically buy the official private jet of the US President, worth $660 million. Such purchases are rarely permitted, but they exemplify the extraordinary purchasing power of Bitcoin today. Boeing 747-8 VIP: The jet, known as the Dreamliner, offers approximately 5,000 square feet of luxury space for $367 million. With 10,000 bitcoins you can buy about three of these.
Luxury: Unlock the world of exclusiveness in BTC
The luxury category includes art, watches and other collectibles, offering a variety of options for purchase of 10,000 BTC.
Leonardo da Vinci’s Salbutter Mundi: It sold for $450 million in 2017 and about $540 million for $2025, allowing you to buy this iconic piece and leave more money behind. Comedian: Just like what Justin Sun did, funds could also purchase $6.2 million banana ducts tapered to the wall. Hallucination of Graph Diamonds: At a price of $55 million, the watch features 110 carats of diamonds in unusual colors such as pink, blue, green, orange and yellow, creating a rainbow effect. You can purchase these 20 or more for 10,000 coins. Patek Philippe SuperCompration: For $24 million, you can own over 46 extremely complex watches known for their complex mechanisms.
From digital gold to real gold
Bitcoin is often referred to as “digital gold,” and this comparison becomes even more pronounced when examining purchasing power in relation to actual gold or other precious metals.
Gold: As of the latest data, gold is priced at $3,332 per ounce. So at 10,000 BTC it’s enough to win around 334,646 ounces (~9,500 kilograms) of gold. This further highlights the extraordinary rise in Bitcoin and solidifies its potential as a valuable repository. Silver: Silver Silver can purchase 33.4 million ounces of silver. Platinum: The same 10,000 BTC can also invest in getting 1 million ounces of Platinum at $1,075/ounce.
Crypto Portfolio Extension
Beyond traditional luxury, we can also invest $1.1 billion in diversifying our Cryptocurrency portfolio by investing in Altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP (XRP).
Ethereum: The second largest cryptocurrency price is $2,617, and at 10,000 BTC you can get around 425,955 ETH. Solana: At $175.9 per Sol, you can purchase around 6.31 million coins with an investment of $1.1 billion. XRP: At a price of $2.4 per XRP, this will allow you to purchase around 464.6 million XRP.
Hodling’s Psychology
Therefore, with this extensive list, the possibility of Bitcoin as a store of value is no longer an issue. What used to be worth two pizzas is now available to buy everything from apartments to jets.
But is it wise to use Bitcoin? Bitcoin Pizza Day itself acts as a reminder of the value of Hadling.
For example, Michael Saylor’s Strategy, a business intelligence company, was the first public company to adopt Bitcoin as its main financial reserve asset. Today, it is BTC’s largest corporate holder, valued at $63.8 billion with 576,230 coins at current market prices.
Strategy’s Bitcoin Holdings currently generates $23.6 billion in variable profits. Additionally, Saylor, a longtime Bitcoin vocal advocate, continues to support that possibility. This is evident in the company’s ongoing purchases.
“No one ever lost money buying Bitcoin,” he wrote to X.
Similarly, Metaplanet has acquired and held Bitcoin since April 2024. The investment has resulted in an unrealized profit of approximately $152 million. This Bitcoin strategy also affected the company’s stock performance, increasing its value.
“Metaplanet is the most aggressively traded stock of the 12,000 listed on the OTC market, with a volume of $388 million across 28,000 transactions.”
This success has led many other companies to follow suit. Companies in Brazil, the Middle East and London are currently taking a similar approach to retain the fifth largest assets in the world due to market value.
