Methodology
How The Estimate Is Calculated
- Find the latest stored Bitcoin block height.
- Calculate the next halving block as the next 210,000-block boundary.
- Subtract the current height from that target to get blocks left.
- Estimate the date with both observed block time and the long-run 10-minute average.

Bitcoin supply schedule
What The Halving Changes
Bitcoin halves its block subsidy every 210,000 blocks. The fourth halving happened in April 2024 at block 840,000 and reduced the subsidy from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block. The next halving is expected around block 1,050,000.
The countdown is best treated as an estimate because real block times vary. Bitcoin targets a 10 minute average, but the observed pace can move the estimated date forward or backward.
FAQ
Bitcoin Halving Questions
What is Bitcoin halving?
Bitcoin halving is the scheduled reduction of the block subsidy miners receive for adding new blocks to the Bitcoin blockchain.
When does Bitcoin halving occur?
A halving occurs every 210,000 blocks. Because block times vary, the calendar date is always an estimate until the target block is mined.
How many Bitcoin halvings have happened?
Four halvings have happened: November 2012, July 2016, May 2020, and April 2024. The April 2024 halving reduced the subsidy to 3.125 BTC per block.
When is the next Bitcoin halving?
The next halving is expected at block 1,050,000. At an average pace of 10 minutes per block, that points to 2028, but the exact date depends on future block production.
What block is the next Bitcoin halving?
The next Bitcoin halving is scheduled for block 1,050,000. The countdown on this page subtracts the latest stored block height from that target block.
What happened at the 2024 Bitcoin halving?
The 2024 Bitcoin halving happened at block 840,000 in April 2024 and reduced the block subsidy from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC.
How did Bitcoin price move after the 2024 halving?
This page charts BTC/USD price history with dense daily data where available and marks the 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 halvings. Historical price movement can provide context, but it does not predict future returns.
Does halving guarantee Bitcoin price increases?
No. Halving reduces new supply issuance, but price also depends on demand, liquidity, macro conditions, miner behavior, and market expectations.
Why does the countdown change?
The countdown changes because Bitcoin blocks are not mined at exactly 10 minute intervals. Difficulty adjustments aim to keep the long-run average near 10 minutes.
