How many bitcoins will ever exist, and how many new ones appear yearly?

"couples its fixed 21-million-coin cap with plausible demand growth and execution behavior"

"2026-10-01 20,091,752.29 440.63"

"a protocol-mandated 50% reduction in block subsidy occurring approximately every four years"

"culminating in a finite supply of 21 million coins (Courtois et al., 2014)."

"halving the mining reward, initially set at 50 BTC per block every 210,000 blocks (or approximately every four years)"

"The third Bitcoin halving that took place in May 2020 cut down the mining reward from 12.5 to 6.25 BTC per block"

"The fourth and most recent halving happened in April 2024, cutting the block reward further to 3.125 BTC."

"The next Bitcoin Halving is expected to occur in or around May 2024."

"The Bitcoin network protocol automatically adjusts Network Difficulty by changing the target every 2,016 blocks hashed based on the time it took for the total computing power used in Bitcoin Mining to solve the previous 2,016 blocks such that the average time to solve each block is ten minutes."

"Out of a fixed maximum supply of 21 million coins, more than 95% of all bitcoin that will ever exist is now in circulation."

"According to the Clark Moody Dashboard , 19,996,979 BTC have been mined, leaving just roughly 3,000 BTC remaining before the 20 millionth bitcoin is reached, roughly seven days away at current issuance rates."

"Recomputing it from Bitcoin Core's subsidy rule puts the true ceiling at 20,999,999.9769 BTC, 0.0231 BTC under the 21 million everyone quotes."

"with just 1 million coins left to be mined over the next century."

"For perspective, of the 21M coins maximum, 7M have"

"Take the ceiling, subtract the 20.10 million issued by the mid-October close, and 899,756 BTC remain."

"Issuance has slowed through halvings, which cut miner rewards roughly every four years, pushing inflation below 1%, with about 450 BTC mined daily."

"Based on the 26,609 documented bitcoins lost, the actual upper limit is lower by at least that many"

"reachesabout21M bitcoins."

"Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins."

"The last new bitcoin, strictly the last new satoshi, is due around 2140."

"On 9 March 2026, the network mined its 20 millionth coin at block 939,999. Less than 1 million BTC now remain."

"So at the current reward of 3.125 BTC per block, miners create about 450 new bitcoin per day."

"But that rate halves roughly every four years – or every 210,000 blocks (an epoch)."
