André Dragosch, head of European research at Bitwise, posted on social media that corporate purchases alone have absorbed almost all the newly mined bitcoin supply. Currently, the newly mined bitcoin supply is about 164,000 BTC per year. What's more, this does not include the purchase demand of other key buyers, such as ETFs, governments, trading platforms, and DeFi. The supply shortage of BTC is more serious than most people realize.
