How Many Bitcoins Are There

The truth is, no Bitcoin is really “lost” as much as it is permanently locked away. We know where all the Bitcoins are. When we say a coin is “lost”, it is sort of like saying someone locked the coin in a box and lost the key to the box. And this box is impossible to open without the key.

How Many Bitcoins Are Mined Everyday?

144 blocks per day are mined on average, and there are 6.25 bitcoins per block. 144 x 6.25 is 900, so that’s the average amount of new bitcoins mined per day.

Because many miners are adding new hash power, over the last few years blocks have often been found at 9.5 minute intervals rather than 10. This creates new bitcoins faster, so on most days there are actually more than 900 new bitcoins created.

How Many Bitcoins Have Been Mined Already?

How Many Bitcoin Blocks Are There Today?

There have been 665,823 blocks mined.

How Many Millionaires Were Made From Bitcoin?

It’s impossible to know exactly. With some quick math, however, we can estimate the max number of people who are Bitcoin millionaires.

With Bitcoin’s price at $33330.35, you’d need 30.00 bitcoins to be a Bitcoin millionaire in dollars. Since there are 18,598,893.75 BTC in circulation, there are a maximum of 619,908 people holding 30.00 bitcoins.

In all likelihood, the number is much lower than that and probably around 30,000-60,000 people with more than $1 million worth of bitcoins.
