Hello! You can use bcftools query -f "A\n" <your_vcf> | wc -l

bcftools query -N -f '.' in.vcf | wc -c

or

  bcftools index -s indexed.vcf.gz |  cut -f 3 |  paste -s -d '+' | bc

EDIT 2024: there is now a new behavior in bcftools query:

    -N, --disable-automatic-newline   Disable automatic addition of newline character when not present
