  In 2024, the total number of bitcoins in existence was approximately 21 million. This is the maximum supply of bitcoins that will ever be created, as defined by the Bitcoin protocol. The total supply is gradually released through a process called mining, where miners solve complex mathematical problems to validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. As of 2024, a significant portion of the total supply had already been mined, and the rate of new bitcoins being created was decreasing over time.
