#创作者冲榜 The 20 millionth BTC officially mined, 1 million remaining to be mined in space!

You still think Bitcoin is just a string of numbers on a screen? Still believe mining is just the roar of machines in mining farms?

Two nuclear-level bombshells shattered everyone's perception in March 2026 in the crypto space:

The 20 millionth Bitcoin officially mined, with only 1 million left to be mined, taking another 114 years to complete;

NVIDIA's massive bet on space mining officially announced—the Starcloud-2 satellite will launch into orbit with mining equipment in 2026, marking humanity's first Bitcoin mining in space!

This isn't just industry news, it's a milestone as Bitcoin moves from Earth to the stars. When Bitcoin's scarcity reaches its extreme, when the energy bottleneck of terrestrial mining is completely broken, the next century of the crypto space will look nothing like what you imagined!

I. Epic milestone! Bitcoin 95.2% mined out, only 1 million remaining, becoming the ultimate treasure of a century!

In 2026, Bitcoin's block height is locked at 940,000—a number that becomes an eternal mark in crypto history. The 20 millionth Bitcoin was successfully mined, accounting for 95.2% of the total 21 million supply. Global miners' future 114-year competition will be for the last 1 million "digital gold."

To date, Bitcoin's total market cap has reached $13.6 trillion, but behind this number lies an iron law set by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, executed perfectly for 17 years without deviation:

✅ Four halvings landed precisely, mechanical rules creating absolute scarcity.

When Bitcoin launched, miners received 50 BTC for each block produced. Satoshi's rule of "halving rewards every 210,000 blocks (approximately 4 years)" became the most unshakable foundational logic in the crypto world:

November 2012, First Halving: 50 → 25 BTC
July 2016, Second Halving: 25 → 12.5 BTC
May 2020, Third Halving: 12.5 → 6.25 BTC
April 20, 2024, Block height 840,000, Fourth Halving: 6.25 → 3.125 BTC

According to this rule, 2028 will see the fifth halving with rewards dropping to 1.5625 BTC, 2032's sixth halving to 0.78125 BTC, and so on indefinitely until 2140 when the last Bitcoin is mined and block rewards permanently reach zero.

This means the remaining 1 million BTC will be slowly mined over a century, with each Bitcoin's creation becoming a global focal point.

✅ Actual circulation supply only 15.8-17.5 million, far more scarce than gold

20 million mined doesn't mean 20 million in circulation! According to 2026's latest calculations from top on-chain analysis firms like Chainalysis and River Financial, 3-4 million Bitcoin have been permanently lost, with a loss rate of 15%-20%, due to early miners forgetting private keys, hard drives physically destroyed, wallet passwords permanently lost, and other reasons. These coins rest on the blockchain forever, yet no one can ever move them.

Most striking is the 1 million BTC left by Satoshi Nakamoto—after mining this portion in 2009-2010, his wallet has never recorded any transfer activity, becoming #Gate13周年全球庆典
