March 9, 2026, is a memorable day! On this day, the 20 millionth BTC was mined. The 10 millionth BTC was mined back on September 24, 2012.


In the growth of BTC, it took 3 years to reach 10 million from zero, but it took a full 14 years to go from 10 million to 20 million.
From 20 million onwards, approximately 65,600 BTC will be mined in about 4 years; then another 32,800 BTC in 4 years; and the final 15,600 BTC will roughly be released by 2140.
In other words, after 8 years, BTC’s inflation can be completely ignored.
If we exclude the lost BTC, the adjusted circulating supply according to Glassnode’s calculations is about 14.85 million.
Among them:
DAT holds 116,200 BTC (MSTR 73,800 BTC);
Governments hold 62,000 BTC (U.S. government 32,900 BTC);
ETFs hold 128,000 BTC (peak at 136,000, only 8,000 BTC reduced in this bear market);
Additionally, there are 133,000 BTC that have been held for 5-7 years without movement...
So, we can do the math ourselves—there really isn’t much BTC left for global investors to buy.
BTC-1.56%
