Over 93% of all Bitcoin has been mined, leaving a mere 1.4 million coins to be extracted in the coming century. This milestone underscores Bitcoin’s fixed supply, which differs from fiat currencies that can be printed endlessly by central banks. As this scarcity increases, so does its value within the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin’s history of reaching new all-time highs during mining slowdowns has cemented its place as a hedge against inflation and a digital store of value. 21 million is the total number of Bitcoin coins that will ever exist, hardcoded into the protocol by Satoshi Nakamoto. The halving events have been designed to gradually slow down the rate of new Bitcoin supply entering the market since April 2024, ensuring this scarcity. The impact of mining slowdown is already being felt with a focus shifting towards transaction fees as the primary incentive for miners. This transition brings attention to Bitcoin’s economic model, environmental impact, and its long-term sustainability once mining rewards become negligible. For investors, the remaining 1.4 million Bitcoin coins present an opportunity to capitalize on the evolving dynamics of this digital asset.
