In February 2026, a landmark event occurred—the 20 millionth Bitcoin was mined. By this point, 95.24% of Bitcoin's preset total supply has been circulated in the market. This means that less than 1 million coins remain as "new supply" for the future, and according to Bitcoin's design mechanism, it is expected that the last 1 million coins will not be fully mined until around 2140.


In other words, within the lifespan of humanity, the total amount of Bitcoin has almost been "determined." Over the next hundred years, the amount of mineable Bitcoin will decrease increasingly, and new supply will shrink dramatically.
