When is the next bitcoin halving?
By the protocol's schedule the next halving falls in 2028. The reward per block then drops from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC.
Basis: the protocol schedule, 210,000 blocks per era at ten minutes a block. The year of a coming halving is projected from that pace.
By the end of 2026 about 20,019,000 BTC exist by the schedule, 95.33 % of the cap of 21,000,000 BTC.
Simulation, not a forecast and not investment advice.
wildcomb.appA halving cuts the number of new bitcoin per block in half every 210,000 blocks. At ten minutes a block that is about four years.
New supply in 2026 is 0.83 % of the existing coins a year and halves with every halving. The Bitcoin tab shows the whole schedule up to 2040.
Frequently asked
What happens at a halving?
The reward for a new block is cut in half. Afterwards half as many new bitcoin come into being each day.
Is the date fixed?
The block height is fixed, not the date. The year is projected from ten minutes a block and can move by months.
Does the halving say anything about the price?
No. This page only works out the schedule of the supply, no price.
