The Bitcoin halving is the cut, hard-coded into the protocol, in the reward miners receive for each new block. It happens every 210,000 blocks, roughly every four years. Since the last halving in April 2024, each block has created 3.125 new Bitcoin; from block 1,050,000, at today's pace in spring 2028, it will be only 1.5625 BTC.
