If you understand how Bitcoin works, it won’t be difficult for you to understand why applying the Stock to Flow model to it might make sense. The model essentially treats bitcoins comparably to scarce commodities, like gold or silver.
Gold and silver are often called store of value resources. They, in theory, should retain their value over the long term due to their relative scarcity and low flow. What’s more, it’s very difficult to significantly increase their supply within a short period of time.
According to the advocates of the Stock to Flow model, Bitcoin is a similar resource. It’s scarce, relatively costly to produce, and its maximum supply is capped at 21 million coins. Also, Bitcoin’s supply issuance is defined on the protocol level, which makes the flow completely predictable.
You also might have heard about the Bitcoin halvings, where the amount of new supply entering the system is halved every 210,000 blocks
