- Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. This limited supply is part of the reason why Bitcoin is often compared to gold, which is also finite. As of 2024, more than 19 million BTC have already been mined, meaning only about 2 million BTC remain to be mined, with the last Bitcoin expected to be mined around the year 2140.
- Many other cryptocurrencies, including Litecoin and Ethereum, also have controlled supplies or inflationary mechanisms, though they vary in terms of total supply or issuance schedules.
