Restriction on Bitcoin supply intensifies as 'old' holders eclipse newly mined BTC

Key findings:

The number of Bitcoins held for more than 10 years is increasing faster than new coins are being mined — 550 BTC/day compared to 450 BTC issued per day.

17% of BTC is already considered illiquid, and projections suggest up to 30% by 2026.

Fidelity Digital Assets released a report highlighting a fundamental shift in Bitcoin's supply dynamics following the 2024 halving. The report noted that the 'old' supply of Bitcoin (BTC), meaning coins held for 10 years or more, has begun to outpace new issuance, with 550 BTC entering the old supply category daily compared to 450 BTC issued.
