Figures as of 30 August 2026 · sources at the foot of the page
Every four years, bitcoin's tap turns half-off. It has happened four times exactly on schedule, and it is the engine behind every scarcity number on this site.
| Fact | Number |
|---|---|
| Current block subsidy | 3.125 BTC (since April 2024) |
| New bitcoin per day | ~450 BTC |
| Next halving | 2028, at block 1,050,000 |
| Subsidy after it | 1.5625 BTC (~225 per day) |
| Mined so far | ~20.07M of 21M (95.6%) |
| Final coin expected | ~2140 |
The schedule is famously front-loaded: over 95% of all bitcoin was issued in the first 17 years, and the remaining ~4.4% takes another century, in ever-thinner slices. That is why the scarcity page can say the clubs only get harder to join - the annual flow of new coins is already tiny against the stock and heads asymptotically to zero. There is a plausible arithmetic in which annual losses exceed annual issuance, making bitcoin net-deflationary in practice while still officially minting.
Whether halvings move the price. The folklore says they do; the sample size is four; and this site trades only in arithmetic, not prophecy. What the schedule guarantees is narrower and stronger: whatever demand exists will be met by less and less new supply, on a timetable no one can change.
The wholecoiner club: smaller than you think.
Where a tenth of a coin puts you.
The million-sat milestone, in context.
Fewer than 150,000 addresses on earth.
Rarer than a football stadium crowd.
Why estimates span 106 million to 500 million.
Millions of coins, gone for good.
Satoshi, exchanges and the biggest addresses.
Your fair share is about 245,000 sats.
