Bitcoin’s 21 million supply cap is fixed and cannot be changed by developers, governments, or market forces. Over 20 million BTC are already circulating, with remaining issuance reduced via halvings that cut miner rewards roughly every four years. After the April 2024 halving, about 164,000 BTC enter circulation annually while corporate treasuries and ETFs absorb supply at roughly 20 times that rate. Strategy held 843,738 BTC as of its May 18 SEC filing, treating BTC as a reserve asset. Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold about $94.17 billion in total assets, though May flows were uneven. Ethereum’s appeal centers on utility and programmability rather than scarcity-driven value storage.
