- Jan 07, 2022 · 3 years agoThe total number of bitcoins that will ever exist is 21 million. This limit was set by the creator of bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, to ensure scarcity and prevent inflation. Currently, there are around 18.5 million bitcoins in circulation, and the remaining bitcoins will be gradually released through a process called mining. Once all 21 million bitcoins are mined, no new bitcoins will be created.
