The company has announced a $ 5 million BTC prize draw among users who take part in the referral program that will run from May 15 to 28, 2025.

Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated annually on May 22 in honor of a transaction that took place in 2010 when programmer Laszlo Hajec bought two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins. At the time, the amount was about $ 40, but later this deal became a symbol of the practical use of cryptocurrency.

As part of Binance’s promotion, users can invite newcomers to the platform and receive up to $ 40 in bitcoin for each successful registration via a referral link — $ 20 for each of the pair. The most active users will be able to claim additional rewards of up to $ 5,000 in token vouchers.

In addition to the referral program, Binance is planning a number of thematic activities: a live broadcast on May 22 with leading industry experts, offline events in different countries, as well as online events that popularize cryptocurrencies among a wider audience.

The company notes that this initiative aims to thank the crypto community for its support over the past 15 years and at the same time promote knowledge of digital assets among new users.
