How it works
Value = bitcoin × the price of 1 BTC. For Pizza Day, 10,000 BTC × the price now, and ÷ 2 for each pizza. The table multiplies 10,000 by the US dollar close on 22 May of each year, or the closest earlier day with a price. The price is today's snapshot and the calculator swaps in the live rate when it loads.
