Against the crowd here but...
The 2024 halving reduced Bitcoin's daily new supply to just 450 BTC, a 50% cut from the previous era. At current prices, that is roughly $30 million worth of new coins hitting the market each day. Meanwhile, institutional demand through spot ETFs has averaged over $100 million per day in net inflows since January.
• Only 1.3 million BTC remain to be mined out of a total 21 million cap. That is less than 6.5% of the total supply, and it will take over 100 years to extract those coins at current rates.
• Bitcoin's stock-to-flow ratio now exceeds 56. For comparison, gold sits around 60. But gold's annual production can increase with higher prices. Bitcoin's issuance schedule is hard coded and does not respond to price.
• The cumulative realized cap has grown to over $600 billion, indicating that the average acquisition price of all circulating coins continues to tick higher. This suggests long-term holders are not distributing into strength.
The digital gold narrative holds because Bitcoin shares the same core attribute as physical gold: extreme scarcity. However, Bitcoin adds verifiability and transportability that gold cannot match. The next cycle will test whether that premium becomes widely accepted or remains a niche belief. Either way, the supply math does not change.
How are you positioning?
