I'm curious to know how much Bitcoin remains stuck in wallets that are no longer accessible or considered 'dead'. Could you provide an estimate of the amount of Bitcoin currently sitting in these inactive or 'dead' wallets?
These coins are no longer retrievable due to various reasons, such as forgotten passwords, lost private keys, or hardware failures.

It is a commonly held belief that approximately 4,000,000 Bitcoin coins, constituting roughly 20% of the total issued supply, have been lost indefinitely.
