  The total supply of bitcoin coins refers to the maximum number of bitcoins that will ever exist. It is determined by the underlying protocol of Bitcoin, which sets a limit of 21 million bitcoins. This limit was put in place to create scarcity and prevent inflation. Currently, there are around 18.5 million bitcoins in circulation, and the remaining bitcoins will be gradually mined over time until the total supply reaches 21 million.

  The total supply of bitcoin coins is determined by the Bitcoin protocol and is fixed at 21 million bitcoins. This limit ensures that there will never be more than 21 million bitcoins in existence. Currently, there are around 18.5 million bitcoins in circulation, and the remaining bitcoins will be mined over time. This limited supply is one of the factors that contribute to the value and scarcity of bitcoin.
