Next Bitcoin halving reduces mining reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC
The next Bitcoin halving is projected to occur in April 2024, reducing the mining reward from the current 6.25 bitcoins per block to 3.125 bitcoins. This event is part of the Bitcoin protocol designed to reduce the rate at which new bitcoins are generated by the network, thus ensuring the cryptocurrency’s supply remains finite and inflation is kept under control. Historically, Bitcoin halvings have been associated with significant price movements, both in anticipation of and following the event.
Looking at past halving events, there has been a noticeable trend where the price of Bitcoin increased significantly after each halving. For instance, after the first halving in 2012, the price rose from about $12 to approximately $1,170.
Similarly, subsequent halvings in 2016 and 2020 were followed by substantial price rallies, with prices reaching around $19,400 and $67,450, respectively. These patterns suggest that halving events can significantly impact Bitcoin’s price due to the reduced supply of new bitcoins entering the market, thus potentially increasing demand.
