The Bitcoin Halving is a pre-programmed event that reduces the reward given to crypto miners by half approximately every four years. The Halving is essential because it ensures that the supply of Bitcoin is kept in check and prevents inflation. The reduction of mining rewards means that the demand for Bitcoin is expected to increase, and its value is likely to surge in response. It is anticipated to happen every 210,000 blocks or roughly every four years, with the most recent halving occurred in May 2020, reducing the reward from 12.5 to 6.25 BTC per block. The Bitcoin Halving plays a crucial role in the long-term viability and scarcity of Bitcoin.
