What is the Bitcoin halving?
The bitcoin halving occurs approximately every four years, cutting the rate at which new bitcoin supply enters circulation in half. Miners currently earn 3.125 BTC per block after four halvings. The most recent halving was April 2024, and the next bitcoin halving is projected for early 2028. Halvings reduce new supply, which has historically preceded significant bitcoin price appreciation as bitcoin adoption outpaces diminishing issuance.
