It is estimated that currently the circulating supply of bitcoin in the market is approximately 19.8 million BTC units. Bitcoin investors start from the reality that, since its creation by the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto, a person or group of people who used this pseudonym, the cryptocurrency had a limited supply, given its mining structure and protocols.

"One of the reasons why bitcoin is completely different from any other asset is precisely its programmed scarcity," says Matías Bari, CEO and co-founder of the Argentine crypto exchange Satoshi Tango, to Bloomberg Línea.
