Track the next Bitcoin halving event and mining reward reduction
A Bitcoin halving is a scheduled event that occurs approximately every 4 years (or every 210,000 blocks) where the mining reward is cut in half.
This is hardcoded into Bitcoin's protocol to control the supply and create scarcity, similar to how precious metals like gold become harder to mine over time.
• Supply Shock: The rate of new Bitcoin entering circulation is cut in half
• Scarcity Increase: Makes Bitcoin more scarce relative to demand
• Miner Economics: Miners receive less BTC per block, affecting profitability
• Historical Price Impact: Past halvings preceded major bull runs (though correlation ≠ causation)
• Long-term Vision: Ensures the final Bitcoin won't be mined until around 2140
• Total Supply Cap: 21 million Bitcoin (hardcoded limit)
• Current Circulation: ~19.6 million BTC (~93% mined)
• Halving Frequency: Every 210,000 blocks (~4 years)
• Block Time: ~10 minutes per block (self-adjusting)
• Final Halving: Around year 2140 (when last Satoshi is mined)
• Halving dates are estimates - actual date depends on block production rate
• Past price performance does not guarantee future results
• Many factors affect Bitcoin price beyond halvings (regulation, adoption, macro economy)
• This countdown is for educational purposes only - not investment advice
• The exact block height and timing may vary slightly from estimates
