Bitcoin Reaches the 95% Mined Milestone.
$BTC supply crosses 19.95M mined, nearing its 21M cap.
Seeing $BTC hit the 95% mined mark feels like watching history unfold in slow motion 🔥. We’re now past 19.95M coins out of the 21M Satoshi hard cap — c’est ouf when you think about how far we’ve come since those early cypherpunk days.
With the 2024 halving cutting rewards from 6.25 to 3.125 $BTC, miners now bring in roughly 450 coins a day, half of what they used to. The emission curve tightens, and you can almost feel the scarcity sinking deeper into the network’s DNA.
And yet, even though almost everything is already in circulation, the last 5% will take more than a century — all the way to 2140. Those final sats will drip out slowly, while the network shifts into a fee-driven economy where user transactions keep miners paid and the hashpower humming. Not surprising when mining difficulty is sitting at a record 152.27T — the competition is fiercer than a July afternoon down here by the sea ☀️.
Moments like this remind me why I fell in love with Bitcoin in the first place: a system that ages like good wine, getting scarcer, tougher, and more elegant with time. 🍷⚡️
