Halvings and Supply Schedule
Bitcoin issuance halves every 210,000 blocks, slowing supply growth over time.
TLDR
- Halvings reduce the block subsidy by 50 percent.
- The schedule is deterministic and predictable.
- Supply scarcity increases over time.
- Historically, halvings drive awareness and demand.
What halves
The reward miners earn for each block halves roughly every four years.
Why it matters
A shrinking issuance rate keeps supply growth low and transparent for long-term holders.
