The only way to tell how much energy is in a bitcoin is to take it out of the Blockchain. Of course this means reverting a tx in the past, which would take more energy than you can ever hope have and time is also a factor.

A Bitcoin has so much energy it feels unlimited but there is technically a finite amount.

Also, I don't know anything, bitcoin isn't a battery, this is just stupid metaphors that Saylor insists on spreading.

Yup indeed, that's kinda the point of my question. People keep saying that Bitcoin = Energy, but there is zero quantifiable link you can make given the lack of information on the energy that went into the hashes. Still would be curious for estimations though.

Do also consider that there are no single Bitcoins, only utxos, some of which might be the size of a single bitcoin.
