Bitcoin Puell Multiple

The Puell Multiple looks at Bitcoin from the miners' side: it compares the daily value of newly issued coins to its own yearly average, highlighting periods when issuance revenue is unusually high or low.

What is the Puell Multiple?

It divides the daily issuance value — new coins minted that day priced in dollars — by the trailing yearly average of that value. High readings mean miners are earning far above their yearly norm; low readings mean issuance revenue is compressed.

How it is calculated

Daily issuance value is coins minted per day times price; the Puell Multiple is that divided by its own moving yearly average. The page follows it as a daily series against its historical range.

How to read it

Historically high Puell readings have coincided with cycle tops, when elevated price lifts issuance revenue and miners have more incentive to distribute. Low readings have overlapped with cycle bottoms and miner capitulation, when issuance revenue is squeezed.

What it does not tell you

The Puell Multiple is a slow, cycle-scale gauge shaped by issuance halvings, and past thresholds may not repeat. It is context, not a signal. Live values are in the authenticated app.

Bitcoin Puell Multiple — FAQ

What does a high Puell Multiple mean?

A high reading means the daily value of newly issued coins is well above its yearly average, historically associated with cycle-top conditions.

What does a low Puell Multiple mean?

A low reading means issuance revenue is compressed relative to its yearly average, historically overlapping with cycle bottoms and miner capitulation.

How do halvings affect it?

A halving cuts daily issuance, which reshapes issuance revenue and therefore the Puell Multiple, so comparisons across halving eras should be made with care.

Is the Puell Multiple a timing signal?

No. It is a slow cycle-scale context gauge, best read with valuation metrics like MVRV rather than used as a precise entry or exit trigger.
