BC1 Token Supply and Allocation: 21 Billion Split Four Ways

BC1 has a stated total supply of 21,000,000,000 tokens, split 40% presale, 15% liquidity, 15% ecosystem rewards and 30% treasury. Presale tokens are claimable in full at launch, liquidity is locked for 12 months, rewards stream over 36 months and the treasury unlocks weekly over 52 weeks.

The allocation table

The figures below come from the project’s whitepaper. We have added the last column as our own reading, not as a project statement.

Bucket	Share	Amount (BC1)	Stated release	What to ask
Presale	40%	8,400,000,000	100% claimable at TGE	Who buys, at what price, with what cap?
DEX/CEX liquidity	15%	3,150,000,000	Paired at launch, LP locked 12 months	What happens at month 13?
Ecosystem (staking, cashback, referrals)	15%	3,150,000,000	Streamed over 36 months	Who controls the stream?
Treasury	30%	6,300,000,000	52 weekly unlocks of about 121.15M	Who holds the keys and what is it spent on?

The percentages add to 100, and the amounts add to 21 billion. The homepage adds that nothing unlocks before launch. You can read the headline numbers on the project’s homepage too.

Key takeaway: A big fixed supply is not scarcity by itself. What matters is how much can actually be sold into the market, and when.

Why 21 billion is not a scarcity argument

The number echoes Bitcoin’s 21 million cap with three extra zeros, which is a branding nod. Supply count has no meaning without price: a market value is price times circulating supply, and a token with billions of units can be cheap per unit and still have a large market value. Do not read “21 billion” as small or large. Ask instead what the market value would be at the presale price times the full supply, which is called the fully diluted valuation. The project does not state a price, so we cannot calculate it, and you should be wary of anyone who offers a figure without a source.

The presale bucket: 40% unlocked on day one

Because the whole presale allocation is claimable at the token generation event, it can reach the market immediately. That is not unusual for presales, but it creates a specific dynamic: presale buyers hold the single largest slice of supply and face no stated lock-up. If many of them sell shortly after launch, that supply meets whatever demand exists. Read more on how that stage works in what a crypto presale is.

Liquidity: 15% and a 12-month lock

Liquidity tokens are paired with other assets in trading pools so that people can buy and sell. Locking the liquidity-provider tokens for 12 months is meant to stop the pool being withdrawn. A lock is a promise enforced by a contract, and you can verify it on-chain. A lock does not guarantee trading volume, and it does not stop the price falling.

Ecosystem rewards: 15% over 36 months

This bucket funds staking, cashback and referrals. Streaming over 36 months spreads out new supply, but it is also ongoing selling pressure if recipients sell rewards. We cover how staking payouts work, and why the yield is variable, in staking APR and variable rewards.

Treasury: 30% over 52 weeks

Six billion three hundred million tokens, released in 52 steps of about 121.15 million, is the largest concentration of supply after the presale. The risk page names this explicitly under concentration risk. Weekly unlocking is gentler than a single cliff, but it is steady supply, and what the treasury does with unlocked tokens is not described in detail on the pages we reviewed. Our token vesting schedule explainer shows how to model it.

Burns and the shrinking supply claim

Supply can fall through burns: holders can burn their own tokens, and a buyback vault burns half of what it buys. Because the contract has no mint function, nothing can be added. How much will actually burn depends on app usage, covered in token buyback and burn. The project’s risk page says buybacks are not a price floor.

A quick due-diligence list for any supply table

1. Do the percentages and amounts reconcile? Here they do.
2. Is every release schedule enforced by a public contract you can read?
3. Who can change a schedule, and can the contract be upgraded?
4. What is the share held by insiders versus the public?
5. Is the circulating supply at launch stated?

For BC1, the schedules are described as contract-enforced, but you should verify the addresses on-chain yourself, because a summary page is not a contract.

Worked example: modelling the first year of supply

You do not need a spreadsheet to see why release schedules matter, only a few lines of arithmetic. Using the stated figures, here is what could become tradable over the first twelve months, assuming schedules run exactly as described and nobody burns anything. This is an illustration of the mechanism, not a forecast of anything.

Bucket	Stated schedule	Possible tradable by month 12
Presale	Fully claimable at TGE	8.4 billion, if buyers claim and choose to sell
Liquidity	Paired at launch	3.15 billion in pools, tradable but locked as LP
Ecosystem	36 months, even stream assumed	About one third, roughly 1.05 billion
Treasury	52 weekly unlocks	All 6.3 billion by week 52

The ecosystem row assumes an even stream, which the whitepaper summary we reviewed does not specify, so treat it as an assumption. Even so, the exercise shows that most of the supply could be unlocked within a year of launch. If demand grows slower than unlocks, price pressure is downward; if demand grows faster, the reverse. Burns reduce the total, but the amount depends on checkout volume, which is not yet observable.

How to read the numbers next to the market

Once BC1 trades, three live numbers will matter more than any table. The circulating supply tells you how many tokens are actually free to move. The pool depth tells you how much a given sale would move the price. And the burn total, which the project’s buybacks page is designed to display from its vault contract, tells you whether the loop is doing anything. At the time of our last check that page showed “Totals unavailable right now”, which is consistent with a test-network app and not with a running business.

Allocation tables are the start of tokenomics, not the end. Pair them with how buyback and burn works and, if you are considering a presale, with the presale checklist before you decide.
