# Tokenomics & Scarcity ## Tokenomics & Scarcity BTCV and BTCB are designed with fixed supplies and built‑in burn mechanisms to create scarcity as mining revenue flows back into the ecosystem. ### Supply Overview * **$BTCV supply:** 1,000,000,000 tokens (fixed). * **$BTCB supply:** 21,000,000 tokens (fixed). Approximately 5,000,000 BTCB have already been burned, leaving \~15.62 M in circulation. ### Burn Mechanics * **$BTCV burns:** 10% of the BTCV mining pool’s revenue is used to buy back and burn $BTCV, reducing circulating supply and increasing scarcity over time. * **$BTCB burns:** 10% of the BTCB mining pool revenue buys and burns $BTCB. In addition, 1.5% of the BTCV mining pool revenue is used to burn BTCB as part of the cross‑ecosystem partnership. ### Long‑Term Treasury Strategy * Team tokens operate as a long‑term treasury reserve rather than short‑term compensation. * Tokens are treated as yield‑bearing assets backed by real mining hashpower. * The team is committed to a 5–10+ year horizon, scaling a large Bitcoin mining operation to sustain BTCV well into the future.\ These mechanisms work together to ensure that supply contracts as the mining pool grows, aligning incentives between holders and the long‑term success of the ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
