As of 2025, there are about 19.93 million bitcoins in circulation \u2014 roughly 94.9% of the 21 million maximum supply.<\/b> <\/p>\r\n Bitcoin was designed with scarcity in mind. Its creator, <\/span>Satoshi Nakamoto<\/b>, hard-coded a maximum supply of <\/span>21 million BTC<\/b> into the protocol.
