So what will happen after the block reward halves a few more times?

What BTC/USD price will be required to keep the mining companies solvent?

They're already on the edge of bankruptcy and power costs are rapidly increasing due to AI datacenter demand.

Prediction: a tail emission will be added to Bitcoin.

It will go down similarly to the recent removal of OP_RETURN size limits and txn filters.

It's pretty obvious, IMO. The miners will "vote" for it - they won't have a choice (other than BK).

There will only ever be 21M Bitcoin (plus a reasonable tail emission)

The Monero guys knew this over a decade ago.
