there are approximately 1,022,650 BTC left to be mined as of mid-January 2026.This puts Bitcoin firmly in what many call the "5% Era" — over 95.13% of the total 21 million supply has already been issued (roughly 19,977,350 BTC mined so far).Why ~1 Million BTC Remaining MattersBitcoin's issuance follows a predictable, geometric decay via halvings (the current block reward is 3.125 BTC per block, producing ~450 new BTC daily). The remaining ~5% will take over 100 years to fully mine, with the very last satoshis not appearing until around 2140.This extreme scarcity is a core part of Bitcoin's value proposition — similar to (but more predictable than) gold's supply dynamics. The final million coins will be released very slowly:Next halving (expected ~2028) → reward drops to 1.5625 BTC/block
Issuance slows dramatically after that
Many analysts and Bitbo reports highlight this milestone as symbolically huge: the "easy" majority of Bitcoin has already been distributed, and the remaining supply will become increasingly difficult (and expensive in energy/hashpower terms) to produce.For context, circulating supply trackers (like CoinMarketCap, Blockchain.com) show similar numbers around 19.97M BTC mined right now, aligning closely with Bitbo's dashboard.We're basically at the point where people say: "Only about 1 million real Bitcoins left to ever be created." If you're tracking this live, Bitbo.io is one of the cleanest places to watch the exact remaining supply tick down block by block. What are your thoughts — bullish on the scarcity narrative kicking into high gear?
