The next Bitcoin halving is expected around April 2028, at block height 1,050,000. The exact date depends on Bitcoin's average block time of approximately 10 minutes.
During a halving, the block reward paid to Bitcoin miners is cut in half. This reduces the rate of new BTC entering circulation, creating a supply shock. The 2024 halving reduced the reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block.
Historically, each halving has preceded a significant bull run within 12-18 months. The 2012 halving preceded a 9,000%+ rally, the 2016 halving preceded a 2,800%+ rally, and the 2020 halving preceded a 700%+ rally. However, past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
Not financial advice. Halving dates are estimates based on average block times and may vary. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always do your own research.
Historically, Bitcoin rallies after each halving. Start accumulating on Coinbase.
