  In 2017, the total number of bitcoins in circulation increased from approximately 16 million to around 17 million. This increase was due to the mining process, where new bitcoins are created and added to the circulating supply. It's important to note that the rate of bitcoin creation decreases over time, with a maximum supply of 21 million bitcoins expected to be reached in the future.

  According to historical data, the total number of bitcoins in circulation in 2017 was around 16.8 million. This number represents the cumulative amount of bitcoins that had been mined up until that point. It's worth mentioning that the exact figure may vary slightly due to factors such as lost or unclaimed bitcoins, but it gives a good estimate of the overall supply at that time.
