The Incredible Shrinking Bitcoin Supply

Currently, 3,150 bitcoin are mined each week.

Last week, Strategy acquired 34,164 bitcoin.

That marked the company’s third-largest purchase. Strategy continues to raise capital in fiat dollars to acquire bitcoin by the week:

The price for bitcoin may have turned the corner.

A quick recent history: Bitcoin grabbed headlines last fall when it peaked just above $126,000 on October 6, 2025.

Then speculators got squeezed.

Within days, roughly $19 billion in leveraged positions were wiped out as derivatives markets unwound on October 9 to October 10.

By mid-November, the price had already dropped below $92,000. It slipped under $85,000 in December.

By early February 2026, bitcoin was trading roughly 47% to 50% below its peak, with prices hovering between $60,000 and $70,000.

The benchmark crypto has started trending up again. It’s fetching $78, 200 in U.S. dollars this morning, no doubt aided and abetted by Strategy’s big purchase.

CEO Michael Saylor is betting that “scarcity” will again enter the bitcoin conversation, as it always does when the price starts rising.

Is bitcoin is ready to hit new all-time highs? Not just yet.

But the move toward $78,000 started on April 2.

Bitcoin has historically traded in big cycles. When everyone wants to buy is competing with a buyer who’s willing to absorb all the new supply, a massive move higher won’t come as a surprise.

Debts and deficits will eventually cause a crisis. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s effort to help bail out the Japanese Yen this week is entirely motivated by self-preservation. The contagion signal flashing in Japanese bonds since late ‘25 is infecting the BOJ, which may be forced to sell U.S. Treasurys to stabilize its own currency.

The copper price is no doubt benefiting from inflation driven by money printing. But the doc don’t lie. Copper’s new all-time highs, while gold and silver still languish, are a sign the AI growth story is also that of the global economy itself.

Many miners were profitable with gold around $2,000 and silver near $50. At sustained prices closer to $4,000 gold and $60 silver, the arithmetic changes dramatically.

The stock market is getting an unexpected boost to kick off August, bucking the historically weak summer session for the U.S. stock market.

What’s happening? The Bank of Japan and the U.S. Treasury are making a coordinated effort to support Japanese yen; a move last attempted nearly 30 years in the height of the Asian Financial contagion (1998).
