How Many Bitcoins Are Left for Mining?
Bitcoin has a maximum supply cap of 21 million coins. As of now, over 19.7 million bitcoins have already been mined and are in circulation. This leaves less than 1.3 million bitcoins still available to be mined, which represents under 7% of the total supply.
Due to the Bitcoin halving events that occur roughly every four years, the rate of new coin issuance is cut in half, making it increasingly difficult and slower to mine the remaining supply. The last bitcoin is expected to be mined around the year 2140.
