Currently, there are more than 19 million of #bitcoins in circulation, out of a maximum planned total of 21 million, with the expectation that all will be mined around the year 2140, thanks to a gradual reduction process (halving) of the reward for miners that makes its issuance increasingly slower, giving Bitcoin its characteristic of a scarce asset, the "digital gold".

Key Points:

Maximum Total: 21,000,000 $BTC (Bitcoin).

Already Mined:

Approximately 19.7 million (data from July 2024/October 2025, varying slightly).

Remaining: About 1.3 million of $BTC to be mined.

End of Mining: Estimated to occur around 2140.

Mechanism: The rate of creation of new Bitcoins is halved every four years (halving), making the issuance increasingly slow and scarce.
