  A bitcoin block can hold a maximum of 1 megabyte (MB) of data. Since the average size of a bitcoin transaction is around 250 bytes, this means that a block can theoretically hold around 4,000 transactions. However, due to other data included in a block, such as the block header and transaction metadata, the actual number of transactions that can fit in a block is slightly lower, usually around 2,500 to 3,000 transactions.
