The ongoing discussion about whether Bitcoin is truly scarce recently sparked a response from Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, after a post on X from Strategy founder Michael Saylor touched on the topic.
Michael Saylor of Strategy recently stated that Bitcoin has a limited supply, suggesting there isn’t enough for everyone to own. However, Samson Mow seems to disagree, offering a straightforward mathematical argument about how scarce Bitcoin actually is.
Bitcoin could reach everyone on Earth
Saylor suggested there isn’t enough Bitcoin for everyone, but Mow explained how it *could* work, even with its limited supply of 21 million tokens. Mow calculated that if all Bitcoin were divided equally among the world’s population, each person would receive approximately 259,259 satoshis – the smallest unit of Bitcoin.

As a researcher looking at Bitcoin distribution, I calculated that if all 21 million Bitcoins were divided equally among every person on Earth, each individual would receive approximately 259,259 satoshis – that’s a tiny fraction of a Bitcoin, but it’s interesting to consider how widely it *could* be spread.

Just so you know, a Satoshi is the smallest fraction of a Bitcoin – there are 100 million Satoshis in one Bitcoin. According to some calculations, if Bitcoin were divided equally among everyone on Earth, each person could potentially own around 1-2 Bitcoins.
Saylor solely claims over 3% of BTC’s supply
Even though Mow’s calculations showed Bitcoin could potentially meet everyone’s purchasing needs, his analysis didn’t actually contradict Saylor’s main idea that Bitcoin is limited in supply.
Mow’s point highlighted that, due to large companies like Strategy and Metaplanet buying up significant amounts of Bitcoin, it’s becoming increasingly unlikely that everyone will be able to own a meaningful share of it. Essentially, the limited supply means individual ownership is becoming less feasible.
This idea reinforces the belief that Bitcoin’s limited supply could cause its price to increase significantly over time, particularly as more organizations and governments start investing in and holding large amounts of it.
Saylor has been steadily buying Bitcoin, and now Strategy owns approximately 3.5% of all Bitcoin in existence. According to Mow’s calculations, that amount of Bitcoin could cover the needs of millions of people.
