The Bitcoin network has now processed 500 million transactions since it first went live on January 3, 2009. According to data site Satoshi—named after the pseudonymous inventor of Bitcoin—there have now been 500.0165 million transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain.

There has been an increase in the number of transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain per year. In 2017, it crossed 250 million transactions, before rising to 500 million today. At this rate, Bitcoin could cross 1,000 million in under two years.
