  The total supply of bitcoin coins refers to the maximum number of bitcoins that will ever exist. It is determined by the underlying protocol of Bitcoin, which sets a limit of 21 million bitcoins. This limit was put in place to create scarcity and prevent inflation. Currently, there are around 18.5 million bitcoins in circulation, and the remaining bitcoins will be gradually mined over time until the total supply reaches 21 million.
