I want to know the upper limit of
Bitcoin that can exist. Is there a cap on the total supply of BTC, and if so, what is the maximum amount of BTC that can be mined or issued?

Despite this cap, the actual number of Bitcoins in circulation may never reach 21 million.

This limit is hardcoded into the cryptocurrency's codebase.

This is due to the use of rounding operators within the Bitcoin protocol.
