• 94% of Bitcoin’s total supply of 21 million coins has now been mined
• Bitcoin’s inflation rate has steadily declined due to halving events every four years, enhancing its appeal as a store of value
• The remaining supply of Bitcoin continues to decrease, highlighting its disinflationary and increasingly scarce nature

Bitcoin’s predictable inflation rate and finite supply are key features that make it appealing to investors. With over 94% of the total 21 million Bitcoin supply already mined, Bitcoin’s scarcity is becoming increasingly relevant.

Background on Bitcoin’s Supply

Bitcoin has a hard limit of 21 million coins that can ever be mined. The percentage of this total supply that has already been minted reflects Bitcoin’s cumulative circulating supply to date.

The number of coins still left to be mined is Bitcoin’s remaining supply. The last Bitcoin is estimated to be mined around the year 2140.

Bitcoin’s Steadily Declining Remaining Supply

The steady decrease in Bitcoin’s remaining supply highlights its disinflationary nature, as fewer and fewer coins are left to be mined over time. This increasing scarcity could influence Bitcoin’s future price trajectory, as demand pressures rise while supply dwindles.

Bitcoin’s Diminishing Inflation Rate

Bitcoin’s inflation rate has declined over time due to periodic halving events every four years. This has brought Bitcoin’s inflation down to more stable, lower levels – further enhancing its appeal as a potential store of value.

The reduction in Bitcoin’s inflation rate underscores its disinflationary properties. This makes it an attractive hedge against the often higher and less predictable inflation rates of fiat currencies.

Conclusion

Bitcoin’s finite supply and transparent emission schedule give it a predictable disinflationary monetary policy. With over 94% of Bitcoin’s total supply already mined, its scarcity and strictly limited issuance are growing more relevant. These attributes make Bitcoin an appealing option for investors looking to hedge against inflation.
