What Is Bitcoin Infinity Day?
Bitcoin Infinity Day is observed every 21 August, symbolizing the idea of "infinite value divided by 21 million" — that is, all the value in the world spread across the total supply of Bitcoin units. This concept has become a meaningful representation of Bitcoin's scarcity and symbolic future value.
The date “8/21” visually combines the number 8 (which resembles the infinity symbol, ∞) with 21, the maximum number of bitcoins that will ever exist — thus forming a poetic representation: ∞ / 21 million.
The idea was popularized around 2021 by Bitcoin author Knut Svanholm, who embraced the concept in his writings and digital memes.
This day also inspired symbolic creativity, with artworks like the Infinity Day Keys crafted by the artist FractalEncrypt—one of which was gifted to Svanholm.
