The next Bitcoin halving is planned for 2028, considering that this procedure, where the rate of issuance is adjusted and miners’ rewards are halved, occurs every four years.

This mechanism was defined this way from the protocol’s inception and “sets the pulse of the available supply and is closely followed by investors, developers, and analysts in the ecosystem.”

The previous halving took place on April 20, 2024, when “the reward dropped from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block.” In the process, “the only constant is the threshold: when the network reaches another 210,000 blocks, the halving will be executed automatically.”

Previous halving dates were:

• 2012: 50 BTC to 25 BTC
• 2016: 25 BTC to 12.5 BTC
• 2020: 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC
• 2024: 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC

The halving is an important process that directly impacts three areas: supply, mining, and market behavior. In 2028, when the next halving occurs, “the reward will be reduced again, and the rate of new BTC creation will be even lower. With each cycle, Bitcoin approaches its maximum limit of 21 million units, reinforcing its deflationary design and the rigidity of its supply.”
