Those who take only a casual interest in crypto may be surprised to learn there are around 1.75 million Bitcoin wallets, many of which contain significant amounts of money, that have been totally inactive for a decade or more. As of mid-March, these wallets (which don't include the 30,000 or so wallets associated with Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto) contained 1,798,681 Bitcoins that are today worth around $121 billion.
These 1.8 million "lost" coins account for around 8.5% of the total supply of 21 million—93% of which have already been mined—that will ever exist.
