Bitcoin scarcity highlights: 19 million coins have been issued, how much further to the million-dollar target?

【Crypto World】The supply cap of Bitcoin is written into the code—totaling 21 million coins, and over 19 million have already been mined. This number may seem like just a statistic, but it reflects an unchangeable fact: Bitcoin is gradually approaching its absolute scarcity threshold.

Industry insiders point out that this programmatic scarcity will have a profound impact on the global financial system. As fewer Bitcoin are available for mining, its status as a store of value may be further reinforced.

From a price perspective, the current Bitcoin trading price is around $95,250, with room for correction from the recent high of $97,950. Looking at a longer time horizon, some analysts believe Bitcoin could break through the $1 million mark between 2031 and 2033, or even earlier. Based on this logic, the average annual increase could reach about $150,000.

Whether such a prediction can be realized largely depends on whether the narrative of Bitcoin’s scarcity can continue to ferment, and whether global capital will continue to view it as a core asset for hedging inflation.
