Bitcoin SV is a proof-of-work chain on Bitcoin's halving schedule. Miners earn the 3.125 BSV block subsidy — about 40.5K BSV over 90 days — and that is the only source of new supply. There is no vesting, no buyback and no burn. Framework reading: about +0.20%, matching the monitor's +0.22%.
The verdict, in one paragraph
For the 90-day window ending June 14 2026, the MrNasdog Pressure Framework reads BSV at +0.20% net, and the inflation monitor reads +0.22% — a gap of 0.02 percentage points, so no chip is raised. The entire reading is the mined block subsidy; nothing else touches supply. BSV is a slow, predictable proof-of-work emitter with the simplest ledger in coverage — one live row on the sell side, an empty buy side.
Sell pressure: where new BSV comes from
Sell #1 — protocol inflation — is the only live source. Miners earn the 3.125 BSV block subsidy on a roughly 10-minute block, which works out to about 40.5K BSV over 90 days. BSV follows Bitcoin's halving schedule, so this subsidy halved in 2024 and will halve again around 2028, cutting the rate to 1.5625 BSV. It is the sole mechanism that creates new BSV.
Every other sell row is zero. Sell #2 — vesting unlocks — is zero: BSV is a fair-launch proof-of-work coin with no team allocation and no vesting schedule. Sell #3 — Foundation and unscheduled unlocks — is zero: there is no foundation reserve releasing into the market. Sell #4 — long-term locked or bankruptcy — is zero; coins not yet mined are released only by the block subsidy above, on the protocol's fixed schedule.
Buy pressure: where new BSV goes
The buy ledger is structurally empty, exactly as it is for Bitcoin. Buy #1 — programmatic buyback — is zero; there is no protocol buyback. Buy #2 — protocol fee burn — is zero; transaction fees are paid to miners as part of the block reward, not destroyed. Buy #3 — Foundation buy — is zero. Buy #4 — new long-term lock — is zero. Nothing absorbs BSV, so the net reading is simply the mined subsidy as a percentage of circulating supply.
Foundation and overhang
BSV has no team-controlled overhang in the conventional sense. As a fair-launch proof-of-work coin, there was no premine, no investor allocation and no foundation reserve set aside at genesis — coins come into existence only when they are mined. The roughly 0.95M BSV between current circulating (~20.05M) and the 21M cap will be released gradually over the coming decades by the halving-reduced subsidy, not by any discretionary entity. There is nothing held off-market on a release schedule to surprise the supply.
How BSV compares to other proof-of-work halving chains
BSV sits in the class of capped proof-of-work coins on the Bitcoin halving schedule — the same structural family as Bitcoin itself and Bitcoin Cash. All three share a 21M cap, a block subsidy that halves on a fixed timetable, and an empty buy side. Mechanically, their inflation readings are nearly identical in shape: a small, slowly-declining positive number driven entirely by the current subsidy, stepping down at each halving.
The contrast with uncapped emitters is the point. An uncapped proof-of-stake chain mints continuously and sizes issuance to stake; an exchange token burns its way down; a vesting-driven token releases on a corporate schedule. BSV does none of that — its supply curve was fixed at genesis and is fully mechanical. For an inflation reading, that makes BSV one of the most predictable assets in coverage: the only thing that changes the number is the halving clock.
What to watch in the next 90 days
There is very little to watch, by design. The block subsidy is fixed until the next halving (~2028), so the ~40.5K BSV / 90-day rate holds steady. Watch hashrate only insofar as it changes block timing at the margin — faster blocks mean marginally more subsidy in a window, slower blocks marginally less, but the effect is small. There are no unlocks, no governance votes and no burn or buyback decisions that could move the supply. The next genuine step-change is the ~2028 halving.
Summary
BSV is a capped proof-of-work coin with the simplest supply ledger in coverage. The 3.125 BSV block subsidy mints about 40.5K BSV over 90 days — the only source of new supply — for a framework reading of +0.20% against the monitor's +0.22%, agreement within 0.02 percentage points. There is no vesting, no foundation overhang, no buyback and no burn. The supply curve is fully mechanical and fixed until the ~2028 halving, which will cut the subsidy in half. Among all assets, BSV's inflation is among the most predictable.
