SBI VC Trade Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of SBI Holdings, Inc. specializing in crypto-asset exchange, is launching a special campaign on its VCTRADE service starting May 22, 2026. The campaign commemorates the 16th anniversary of 'Bitcoin Pizza Day,' with 10 lucky winners receiving 100,000 yen worth of Bitcoin (BTC) via lottery.
'Bitcoin Pizza Day' is celebrated globally every May 22. In 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC to purchase two pizzas, marking the world's first instance of Bitcoin being used for a real-world payment. While 1 BTC was valued at less than 1 yen back then, its value has surged to approximately 12.2 million yen as of May 2026.
### Campaign Details - **Period**: May 22, 2026 (11:00 AM) - June 4, 2026 (11:59 PM) JST - **Eligibility**: Individual and corporate customers who purchase 10,000+ JPY of BTC on VCTRADE and complete entry via the My Page. - **Reward**: 100,000 JPY worth of BTC for 10 winners (to be credited by late June 2026).
SBI VC Trade celebrates this historical milestone with its customers and remains committed to the further development of the on-chain financial market.
