Every 210,000 blocks — roughly every four years — the new bitcoin created per block halves; at the next halving the subsidy drops from 3.125 to 1.5625 BTC. Issuance ends around the year 2140, just short of 21 million coins. Every figure in this section follows deterministically from the block height above; nothing here is estimated except the dates.

Reddit's interest in Bitcoin held level across this window — 4,333 mentions over 30 days, with no single day carrying more than 9% of them

This chart in words

The chart plots daily Reddit mentions of Bitcoin over the 30 days to 20 August 2026: 4,333 in total, busiest on 14 August with 367, and 48 on the last day counted. The line is the last price recorded each day over the same window — these venues never close — from $65,611.80 on 22 July to $69,601.59 on 20 August. Sentiment — the bullish share of the mentions that took a side, where the chart's dashed rule marks the 50% at which bullish and bearish are even — ran from 77% bullish to 100% bullish over the 25 days that carried enough mentions to measure. 5 days either fell under the 5-mention floor or carried no bullish or bearish mention at all, and so carry no sentiment point.

BTC — frequently asked questions

From live data

What is Bitcoin's supply?

Bitcoin has a circulating supply of 20.1M BTC and a total on-chain supply of 20.1M BTC. Both figures are read directly from the chain, not taken from issuer reports.

How is the BTC price here computed?

The BTC price on this page is TheDistributed's own reference price: we take DEX pool prices from DexScreener and weight them by pool liquidity, rather than using an exchange feed. Because BTC itself doesn't trade on those venues, the read goes through pools for its wrapped form, which tracks BTC closely but is not identical to it — the cross-venue spread we measured is stated beside the price. The full method and labels are documented on our methodology page.

Does Bitcoin have a market cap?

Yes. Bitcoin's market cap here is $1.40T, computed as the reference price times a circulating supply that can be verified on-chain. Only assets whose circulating supply we can verify get a market-cap label on this site.

What chain does Bitcoin run on?

Bitcoin runs on its own blockchain — BTC is that chain's native coin, not a token issued on another network.

What is Bitcoin's latest block?

At last read, the most recent Bitcoin block our own node connections saw was block 963,270. Recent blocks arrived about 13.2 min apart on average.

Answers are generated from the live figures on this page — our own on-chain reads and our own reference price — and update as the data does.
