Beginning May 22 – Bitcoin Pizza Day – Barstool Sports and Kraken are making that dream a potential reality for anyone bold enough to take a stab at the future price of the world’s first crypto.

Nail it, and you’ll be walking off with your very own piping hot slice of digital gold… for the cost of typing a number into a box.

Why should you care?

  • It’s a chance at (a lot of) literally free money. No buy-in. No trading. No hidden hoops.
  • It’s an entire Bitcoin. Not 0.0002 BTC. Not “$50 in sats.” One. Whole. Bitcoin.
  • Odds you can actually grasp. This isn’t a 300-million-ticket lottery. You’re only battling fellow Stoolies and crypto degens with the steely reserve to guess a number.
  • Historic bragging rights. Guess the price of Bitcoin to the dollar on Kraken’s anniversary and parade around forever as a blockchainian Nostradamus.

Mark your calendars (and your pizza boxes)

  • May 22: Bitcoin Pizza Day kickoff, contest opens
  • July 4: Fireworks, hot dogs and your last chance to enter
  • July 28, 9:30 a.m.: Kraken turns 14, the price is frozen, destiny decides
  • August: Kraken slides into your inbox if the crypto gods whisper your name

Who’s behind the curtain?

  • Kraken, the battle-tested exchange Dave Portnoy trusts for his own crypto bags.
  • Barstool Sports/Davey Day Trader Global, because high-stakes hijinks need a proper hype man.

Together we’re stirring the sauce, tossing one pepperoni-covered Bitcoin into the air and seeing whose plate it lands on.

Everybody must know the rules

  • U.S. residents only
  • One entry per person
  • Full legalese lives in the T&Cs

⚡️Ready to flex those price-prediction muscles?

Head to kraken.com/barstoolcontest on May 22 and drop your best guess.

Someone’s walking away with a coin worth more than a few years’ rent or a lifetime supply of pizza (at 2025 BTC Pizza Day prices, that’s about two $20 pizzas every week… for 50 years).

Might as well be you.
