An event that aims to bring together all the fragmented cryptocurrency communities in Malaysia under one roof.
On May 31, 2024, 500 local cryptocurrency and Bitcoin enthusiasts will come together to dine, network, celebrate and party together. Organizers invite everyone who is passionate about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain to join the wider cryptocurrency community in Malaysia to celebrate this event together.

Historical context
On May 22, 2010, a programmer bought two large pizzas using 10,000 Bitcoins.
“I would trade 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas… maybe two large ones so I have some left over for the next day. ”—— Programmer Laszlo Hanyecz
This was one of the most historic real-world transactions that took place just one year after the birth of Bitcoin. The community subsequently dubbed May 22 as “Bitcoin Pizza Day” to commemorate this historic transaction. Today, Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated annually in the global community. 14 years later, Bitcoin has become strong enough to compete with global currencies! This year, Bitcoin has broken its all-time high again, with the price of each Bitcoin exceeding RM300,000!
"To celebrate this success, we invite everyone in the cryptocurrency space to join us in our celebration at Brooklyn Warehouse Manila on May 24th this year! ” — Shahrizan Ferouz, Head of Cryptocurrency Malaysia
Bitcoin Pizza Day is meant to mark and celebrate this milestone, a test and upgrade for the most important cryptocurrency. But it’s also a reminder that no matter how seemingly insignificant something is, it can spark big changes in the world. — Tomas Vaic, Trezor, Satoshi Labs
We work hard to build, deliver and grow in this space. Sometimes we just forget to have fun! We bring you Bitcoin Pizza Day so you can relax, party and jump higher! — Colbert Lau, Head of Bitcoin Malaysia
