What Is the Bitcoin Halving?
The Bitcoin halving is a protocol event that reduces the block subsidy paid to miners by 50%. It occurs every 210,000 blocks and limits the rate at which new bitcoin enters circulation.

How to use this Bitcoin tracker
Use the live countdown to compare the current block height with the activation height. Blocks remaining are the most direct measure; the calendar date is an estimate that moves with block production. The block subsidy shown excludes transaction fees.
When Is the Next Bitcoin Halving?
The next halving is scheduled for block 1,050,000. It is expected in 2028, but no exact calendar date can be guaranteed because blocks are not mined at perfectly regular intervals.
Bitcoin Block Reward After the Halving
At block 1,050,000, the block subsidy is expected to fall from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC. Transaction fees remain separate from the block subsidy.
Why Block Height Matters More Than the Date
Bitcoin activates the halving at a specific block height, not at a fixed date or time. Countdown dates therefore move as the average pace of block production changes.
Frequently asked questions
Is the halving date fixed?
No. The halving activates at a specific block height. Faster or slower block production changes the estimated calendar date.
