Spot Bitcoin ETFs bought 26,700 BTC so far in May.
Only 7,200 new BTC were mined during the same period.
Demand from ETFs is vastly outpacing supply.
So far in May 2025, Spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated a massive 26,700 BTC. That’s nearly four times the amount of new bitcoin mined during the same time frame, which sits at just 7,200 BTC.
This sharp imbalance between demand and supply is drawing attention across the crypto community. Institutional demand, led by ETFs, appears to be stronger than ever. This trend reflects growing confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term asset and may be pushing the price upward due to simple supply and demand dynamics.
Miner Production Lags Behind
Since the Bitcoin halving in April, miner rewards have been slashed in half, reducing new supply. With only 7,200 BTC mined this month so far, there’s significantly less bitcoin entering circulation.
At the same time, ETF inflows are accelerating, highlighting a potential supply squeeze. If this trend continues, we could see even more upward price pressure as institutional buyers compete over a shrinking pool of available coins.

What This Means for Bitcoin
The fact that ETFs are buying more than three times the amount being produced is a strong bullish signal. If institutional demand continues at this rate, and miner output remains low post-halving, Bitcoin’s scarcity could drive its price even higher.
For retail investors, this could signal a good time to reassess their position. Bitcoin’s growing adoption by large financial entities like ETFs is creating a new level of mainstream legitimacy.
