Precisely, there will be 20,999,999.97690000 BTC.

While that will be the total that will have been created, that will not be the total that will exist.

This is because some have been permanently removed from the blockchain.

Furthermore, there are some that can be proven to be permanently unspendable, so while they may still "exist" it is certain that they are no longer useful.
