Bitcoin distribution describes how newly minted bitcoins are introduced into circulation and how existing bitcoins are held and transacted among market participants. This process is fundamental to understanding Bitcoin’s economic model and ownership patterns. The initial distribution occurred through mining, and subsequent distribution involves trading, investments, and other economic activities.

Debates frequently arise concerning the implications of concentrated holdings for market manipulation and price discovery.
