  Well, let me break it down for you. The Bitcoin network has a built-in mechanism that releases a fixed amount of new bitcoins into circulation every 10 minutes through a process called mining. Since the creation of Bitcoin in 2009, miners have successfully mined around 18.7 million bitcoins. This number will continue to increase until the total supply of 21 million bitcoins is reached.

  According to the latest data, around 18.7 million bitcoins have been mined up to this point. It's important to note that the rate at which new bitcoins are mined decreases over time, following a predetermined schedule. This means that it becomes progressively harder and more resource-intensive to mine new bitcoins as time goes on. So, we can expect the remaining bitcoins to be mined at a slower pace.
