Bitcoin Cash · BCH
A capped proof-of-work coin built as peer-to-peer electronic cash
A capped electronic-cash coin with calm supply — but no live VC story and thin real-world payment use.
How we judge every coin · tap▾
You want coins with the best chance to rise. Three forces decide it: inflation (fewer new coins = less selling pressure), narrative (a strong story pulls buyers in), business model (is the token actually needed, and used). Full method →
BCH · Bitcoin's money rules, inherited and never touched.
BCH is the native coin of Bitcoin Cash, a fair-launch proof-of-work chain that split from Bitcoin in Aug 2017 — 21M hard cap, ~20.08M circulating, about 96% already mined.
Sell pressure. Mining only — 3.125 BCH per block across 12,840 counted blocks, or ~40.1K BCH in 90 days. Nothing else makes a coin.
Buy pressure. No buyback, no burn, no treasury, no staking lock — zero supply is taken back off the market.
Net. Mining inflation at face value — ~+0.20% of supply reaches the market over 90 days, with roughly 0.92M BCH left before the cap.

Mining is the only thing that makes a new BCH. A chain read counted 12,840 blocks between Jun 1 2026 and Aug 30 2026, each paying a fixed 3.125 BCH reward — 40,125 BCH in total. Blocks landed 605.6 seconds apart against a 600-second target, so the counted blocks are used and not the schedule.
There is no vesting schedule to unlock. Bitcoin Cash started in Aug 2017 by copying Bitcoin's ledger one-for-one, so every coin in existence was mined — no premine, no team allocation, no investor tranche.
No public evidence of release in window — monitored. No foundation, treasury or developer share of the block reward exists: the 2020 plan to divert part of the mining reward was rejected, and a read of the reward output at both window edges shows one payment, to the miner. A Nasdaq-listed company is building a BCH holding, but those coins were bought in the open market and already sit in the tradable float.
No public evidence of release in window — monitored. The Mt. Gox estate still owes creditors a Bitcoin Cash tranche and its repayment deadline is Oct 31 2026, but the trustee publishes no BCH address, no remaining amount and no payout date, and the one estate movement inside this window was Bitcoin only.
There is no buyback. Bitcoin Cash keeps no protocol revenue and holds no treasury, so nothing exists to fund one.
Nothing is burned. Reading the reward output at both edges of the window shows the block subsidy plus every transaction fee paid straight to the miner, and the coins parked at the well-known unspendable addresses did not move either. Fees change hands; supply is never reduced.
No public evidence of release in window — monitored. There is no foundation or treasury entity behind Bitcoin Cash to do the buying; node development runs on voluntary donations.
No public evidence of release in window — monitored. Proof-of-work pays miners directly, so there is no staking, no bonding and no lockup contract holding coins off the market.
