The Bitcoin halving is a major event in the Bitcoin network that occurs approximately every four years (every 210,000 blocks). It cuts the block reward for miners in half, reducing the rate at which new bitcoins are created. This helps control inflation and maintains Bitcoin's capped supply of 21 million coins.
Next halving: Expected around April 19-20, 2025 (block 840,000).
Current block reward: 6.25 BTC per block.
After halving: It will drop to 3.125 BTC per block.
Supply shock: Halvings reduce the new supply of BTC, which can lead to price increases if demand remains strong.
Historically bullish: Past halvings (2012, 2016, 2020) were followed by significant bull runs within a year.
