Binance's CZ says Bitcoin supply is scarcer than thought, with up to 20% lost or unrecoverable.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao highlighted that Bitcoin's available supply may be even lower than commonly believed. While over 20.07 million Bitcoin have been mined out of the 21 million total, CZ estimates that 10% to 20% of these coins are lost or permanently inaccessible due to lost private keys or other reasons. This scarcity means fewer Bitcoins are actually available for trading, increasing its deflationary nature as the next halving approaches. Investors should consider this reduced effective supply when assessing Bitcoin's value and market dynamics.
