The Bitcoin supply crunch is real. Last week alone, major institutional buyers accumulated 13,627 BTC while miners produced just 3,150 BTC. That's a massive gap.



When demand this strong hits anemic supply, something's gotta give. The math is straightforward—miners can't scale up fast enough to feed the institutional appetite for BTC. Meanwhile, the halving cycle keeps tightening what's actually coming to market.

What does this mean? Every coin that gets scooped up by these big players is one fewer coin available for retail or other buyers. The supply pressure builds. Inventories thin. Price discovery gets interesting.

This isn't speculation. These are the actual numbers playing out week by week. If this imbalance persists, we're looking at a structural supply deficit that could reshape Bitcoin's market dynamics in the months ahead.

ngl the 13.6k vs 3.1k delta is mathematically inevitable but the real question is whether these numbers are actually measuring what matters... like are we counting exchange inflows or on-chain settlement? because if you analyze the mempool data properly the narrative gets way messier than this framing suggests

Institutions are疯狂 buying, miners can't keep up, and now retail is about to be pushed out of the game.

Institutions are buying aggressively, retail investors are just getting the leftovers? These numbers are indeed frightening.
