Given that a new block is mined approximately every 10 minutes, we can calculate the annual flow of Bitcoin into circulation. At the current rate, this translates to an influx of 328,500 BTC each year.

With a total stock of 19,171,050 BTC and an annual flow of 328,500 BTC, the stock-to-flow ratio is calculated as follows: 19,171,050 / 328,500 = 58.35. This figure highlights the relative scarcity of Bitcoin in comparison to its annual production.
