In its initial year of 2009, Bitcoin had a very limited amount in circulation. The first Bitcoin block, known as the Genesis Block, was mined by Satoshi Nakamoto on January 3, 2009, with a block reward of 50 BTC. This marked the beginning of Bitcoin\“s issuance.
Throughout 2009, the total Bitcoin amount mined was relatively small. The block reward remained fixed at 50 BTC per block, and with blocks being generated approximately every 10 minutes, the daily production was around 720 BTC. By the end of 2009, the total Bitcoin supply was estimated to be less than 1.6 million BTC.
The initial year\“s Bitcoin amount was crucial for establishing the network\“s security and distribution. Early miners and adopters acquired Bitcoin at minimal cost, laying the foundation for its future growth. The limited supply in the first year highlighted Bitcoin\“s deflationary nature, as the issuance rate was designed to halve approximately every four years. |
