According to mempool research, nearly half of the UTXOs in the current Bitcoin network have less than 1,000 sats, mostly using Taproot; UTXOs with over 100,000 legacy counterparties have existed for more than 10 years; UTXOs on inscriptions account for about 30% of the total number of UTXOs, most of which are p2tr outputs, but the average value is smaller, at only 811 sats.

According to Wu, as reported by mempool research, currently 49% of the UTXOs in the Bitcoin network contain amounts less than 1,000 sats (~$1), with the majority utilizing Taproot, possibly related to data embedding schemes or supplementary transfer schemes using Ordinals; there are over 100,000 legacy counterparty P2MS UTXOs that have existed in the UTXO set for more than 10 years. Although this only accounts for a small portion of the total UTXO set, they are examples of UTXO inflation caused by data storage; UTXOs related to inscriptions account for 29.6% of the total UTXO set, of which 72.86% are p2tr outputs, but the Bitcoin value represented by these UTXOs is relatively small—only a total of 415.16 BTC, with an average value of only 811 sats per UTXO.
