Funds sent to this address: https://blockstream.info/address/bc1pvkpqgqe7g6sl4rxwhpqp8nlz6dmv5uk47k2nr9yhh9ds32ny49cqdcghmx are provably lost. This is because this is an invalid taproot address (out of the range of secp256k1 curve).

Oef, 2 million BTC is quite a chunk, I wonder how much could be recovered as the incentive to try and find those keys continues to rise with the price, and also how many more bitcoin is already lost but we don't yet know about it, the more non-tech people getting into bitcoin, and the more bitcoiners who don't have an estate plan, the more sats get lost

Actually this website just gives info about provably unspendable bitcoins, and it's just 2,8k btcs provably lost.
Some time ago chainanalisys reported that probably 24% of all btcs were lost and that stands for 4,6mi btcs.
The average is little over 900 btcs lost everyday! (exactly the current emission rate 6,25 btcs / 10 min
