🚨 3.56M BTC May Be Lost Forever
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost reports that around 3.56 million BTC are now considered lost or permanently inactive roughly 17.7% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply.
That’s an extraordinary amount of BTC removed from practical market liquidity.
But one important distinction: “lost” doesn’t necessarily mean every coin is proven inaccessible. Some may simply belong to holders who haven’t moved their BTC for many years.
Still, if a large portion never returns to the market, Bitcoin’s effective available supply is much smaller than the headline circulating-supply figure suggests.
Scarcity isn’t just about the maximum 21M BTC.
It’s also about how much BTC can actually
move.
