How Much Bitcoin Do You Need To Retire?

As Bitcoin matures into a store of value and inflation hedge, many long-term holders are starting to ask a critical question:

How much BTC do I actually need to retire — and how long will it last?

It’s a powerful question, but one that traditional retirement tools aren’t designed to answer. So I built a lightweight, easy-to-use BTC Retirement Tracker. Its a free tool designed to help you plan your financial future in Bitcoin terms, not based on fiat guesswork and with near instant results.

Why Bitcoin Requires a New Kind of Retirement Math

Bitcoin isn’t a stock. It doesn’t produce dividends, and its long-term trajectory doesn’t follow the patterns of traditional assets. It’s deflationary, scarce, and historically volatile , but potentially transformative.

Standard financial planning relies on assumptions like 4% withdrawal rates and 7% annual returns,  but if you’re building your retirement around Bitcoin, you’re likely more focused on:

•          Your BTC stack instead of dollar savings

•          Your spending power over decades, not just next year

•          And your exit strategy, not just a target price

This tracker reframes the conversation , not around how much money you need, but how much Bitcoin you’ll need to hold, earn, or grow to sustain your lifestyle across retirement and beyond.
