Data: 95% of Bitcoin has already been mined and is in circulation.

[Data: 95% of Bitcoin has been mined and is in circulation] On Monday, Bitcoin reached a psychologically significant milestone: 95% of its total supply has been officially mined. This important moment was marked by antpool successfully mining Block 923,999, which included 19,950,000 Bitcoins in the Bitcoin Block Reward (CEX reward). When the Bitcoin network started in 2009, the protocol layer rewards (i.e., block rewards) for miners successfully mining a transaction block were 50 Bitcoins per block. Subsequently, this reward is reduced by approximately 50% every four years, a mechanism aptly referred to as “halving.” In November 2012, the Block Reward was halved for the first time to 25 Bitcoins per block; in July 2016, it was halved again to 12.5 Bitcoins per block, and so on. Currently, the Block Reward for mining a block has been reduced to 3.125 Bitcoins. The next “halving” is expected to occur in April 2028, at which point the block reward will further decrease to 1.5625 Bitcoins per block.
