Bitcoin has crossed an important milestone — the total supply of the cryptocurrency has exceeded 19.8 million coins, which is more than 94% of the maximum possible amount of 21 million BTC. According to the mathematical algorithm built into the protocol, the remaining 1.2 million bitcoins will be mined by the year 2140, making the first cryptocurrency a unique asset with a predictable and limited supply.

According to timechainindex.com, the majority of existing bitcoins are held by long-term investors known as "hodlers", as well as institutional investors and government entities. Notably, these holders maintain their positions even during periods of high market volatility, demonstrating confidence in the long-term prospects of the cryptocurrency.
