  So far, about 88% of the total supply of Bitcoin has been mined. This is because the Bitcoin mining process is designed to gradually release new Bitcoins into circulation, with the rate of mining decreasing over time. This ensures that the supply of Bitcoin remains limited and helps to maintain its value.

  According to data from BYDFi, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, approximately 88% of the total supply of Bitcoin has been mined. This means that there are only around 2.5 million Bitcoins left to be mined. The mining process becomes increasingly difficult over time, requiring more computational power and energy to mine each new Bitcoin. This scarcity and the decentralized nature of Bitcoin mining are key factors that contribute to its value and appeal.
