On March 9, 2026, Bitcoin mined its 20 millionth coin, a milestone that took 17 years, 2 months, and one week to reach. The remaining 1 million BTC will take roughly 114 years, with the final satoshi expected around 2140. Today, miners produce about 450 BTC per day. The next halving is projected for April 2028, which will cut the block reward from 3.125 to 1.5625 BTC and slash daily production to around 225 BTC. Meanwhile, since the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024, they've accumulated over 1.28 million BTC in total holdings absorbing an average of roughly 2,300 BTC per trading day. That is about five times the amount being mined daily.
