Bitcoin Halving Countdown
Every 210,000 blocks, the Bitcoin block reward is cut in half — reducing new supply and reinforcing the hardest money ever created.
Why Halving Matters
Supply Shock
Each halving cuts the rate of new Bitcoin creation in half. This reduction in new supply has historically preceded significant price movements as demand outpaces issuance.
Miner Economics
Halvings directly impact mining profitability — miners receive fewer BTC per block. This drives industry consolidation, hardware upgrades, and shifts in network hash rate.
Predictable Scarcity
Bitcoin's halving schedule is hardcoded and immutable. Every 210,000 blocks, the reward halves — making Bitcoin the only asset with a truly fixed, transparent supply policy.
Bitcoin's Supply Schedule
Bitcoin's monetary policy is entirely predictable. Starting at 50 BTC per block in 2009, the block reward halves every 210,000 blocks — roughly every four years. This process will continue through 33 total halvings until the final satoshi is mined around the year 2140.
After each halving, the rate of new supply drops by 50%. By the 2028 halving, over 98.4% of all Bitcoin will already be in circulation. This built-in scarcity — combined with growing adoption — is what makes Bitcoin fundamentally different from any government-issued currency.
No central bank, committee, or government can change this schedule. The code is the policy.
