Bitcoin nears 20.1 million mined BTC milestone
- —95.71% of the 21 million max supply has been issued
- —1,157 BTC remain until 20.1 million, roughly 371 blocks
- —The 20.2 million mark is projected for around June 1, 2027
- —The 2028 halving will cut the block reward to 1.5625 BTC
Why it matters: Halvings and a fixed issuance schedule curb new supply, underpinning the core scarcity case for bitcoin as a store of value.
