" Think #Bitcoin Has 21 Million Coins? Think Again ".....................................................
The common belief that #Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million is technically true—but the real circulating supply tells a different story. Here’s why the actual available #BTC is far lower, and why that matters more than ever:
•🔒 17.6% of all #BTC is lost forever — inaccessible due to forgotten keys or lost wallets.
•👤 5.2% remains untouched in Satoshi Nakamoto’s original wallet, never moved since inception.
•⛏️ 6.6% hasn’t even been mined yet, waiting to enter the market in future years.
That means nearly 30% of BTC is out of circulation—forever or for the foreseeable future.
*Now, let’s talk ownership:
•📈 57% is held by individuals
•🏦 3.9% by ETFs (and growing fast with institutional demand)
•🏢 3.6% by public companies
•🌍 2.7% by governments
•🔧 3.4% by miners
The Real Takeaway?
•✅ Bitcoin’s true liquid supply is shrinking.
•✅ Demand from institutions and ETFs is accelerating.
•✅ The Bitcoin halving has reduced new supply even further.
Scarcity isn’t just theoretical anymore—it's visible on-chain.
With macro adoption rising, ETF inflows booming, and halving cutting new issuance, we’re witnessing a perfect supply-demand storm.
