🔖 Title: Bitcoin's Supply Crunch: What the 93% Mined Milestone Means for the Future
🗓️ Published: 2025-05-27T15:00:00+03:00
📄 Summary: As of May 2025, approximately 19.6 million Bitcoin have been mined, representing about 93.3% of its total cap of 21 million. With only 1.4 million BTC left to mine, the remaining supply will be released at a significantly slowed rate due to the mechanics of the Bitcoin halving, which occurs approximately every four years. The majority of Bitcoin's supply was mined quickly in the early years, raising questions about value, scarcity, and the implications of lost coins, which may permanently reduce the circulating supply. Estimates suggest up to 3.8 million BTC could be irretrievably lost, highlighting Bitcoin's unique position as a deflationary asset reminiscent of gold but with even stricter scarcity controls.
