As of August 2024, with a global population of around 8.2 billion people, the scarcity of Bitcoin becomes even more pronounced when we account for the estimated 4 million BTC lost forever. This reduces the effective supply to approximately 17 million BTC. If only 1 BTC were available for each person, only 17 million individuals could hold one whole Bitcoin. This means that just 0.21% of the world’s population could ever own 1 BTC, highlighting Bitcoin’s extreme scarcity and potential value on a global scale.
