Bitcoin BTC is set to issue its 20 millionth coin, with over 95% of the fixed 21 million supply already in circulation. The milestone is seen as a significant symbolic moment in the Bitcoin community. The creation of this type of money is seen by supporters as a form of scarcity compared to traditional currencies that can be expanded by central banks. The final full bitcoin is expected around 2105, with fractional issuance expected until about 2140.
