Bitcoin Halving 2028
The halving cuts the block reward miners receive in half, slashing the issuance of new bitcoins. It happens every 210,000 blocks (~4 years) and is the heart of Bitcoin's monetary policy.
Block 1,050,000 · reward drops from 3.125 to 1.5625 BTC
What is the halving and why does it matter?
Each halving reduces the amount of new BTC entering circulation. With stable or growing demand and an ever-slower supply, history has seen large price moves in the 12-18 months that follow. It is not a guarantee: past performance does not ensure future results.
