Bitcoin Scarcity Drives Price Surge as Remaining Supply Shrinks

Approximately 95% of all Bitcoin has already been mined, leaving less than 5% remaining. Out of the total 21 million BTC, nearly 19.9 million are in circulation, with only 1.1 million BTC (worth around $130 billion) left to be mined until the end of the emission process. As miners produce fewer bitcoins and demand continues to grow — with US funds purchasing over $20 billion worth of BTC since the beginning of the year, while only $10.8 billion were mined — the scarcity intensifies. This increasing scarcity is driving the prices upward.
