Bitcoin Halving 2028

The Bitcoin halving is a pre-programmed event that occurs approximately every four years (every 210,000 blocks). During a halving, the reward that miners receive for validating new blocks is cut in half.

What Is the Bitcoin Halving?

Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million coins. The halving mechanism ensures that new Bitcoin enters circulation at a decreasing rate over time, making it a deflationary asset. This built-in scarcity is one of Bitcoin's core value propositions.
