The next Bitcoin halving is now 50% complete
The next Bitcoin ( BTC ) halving is slowly approaching, with the event now roughly halfway into its current cycle. Specifically, the halving is expected to occur in mid-April 2028, at the block height of 1,050,000.
As of the time of writing, there are only 105,000 blocks left before the halving is 50% complete, as evidenced by the latest Bitcoin Archive calculations . Bitcoin halvings occur approximately every four years and are designed to cut the block reward in half.
As a result, the rate at which new coins enter circulation is reduced. Currently, miners receive 3.125 BTC per block.
Once the halving is completed, the number will fall to roughly 1.562 BTC. In practical terms, this will reduce daily Bitcoin issuance from about 450 BTC to approximately 225 BTC, tightening supply and reinforcing the asset’s ‘digital gold’ narrative.
