When Is the Next Bitcoin Halving?
The next halving is expected to occur in 2028 when the block reward will fall to 1.625 BTC. The first Bitcoin block reward was 50 bitcoin. There have been four halvings since 2009. These halving dates were:
Nov. 28, 2012, to 25 bitcoins
July 9, 2016, to 12.5 bitcoins
May 11, 2020, to 6.25 bitcoins
April 19, 2024, to 3.125 bitcoins

As of May 2024, about 19.7 million bitcoins were in circulation, leaving just around 1.3 million to be released via mining rewards.

Exciting to see the Bitcoin halving schedule laid out like this. The decreasing block rewards contribute to Bitcoin's scarcity and long-term value proposition. Keep an eye on the next halving in 2028!
