Bitcoin Halving is the process of reducing the mining reward as a result of Bitcoin calculations by 50% every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every 4 years. This means that fewer new Bitcoins are added to the market, which can lead to increased demand and thus increased price.
Main Reasons for Bitcoin Halving
Supply Control: Reducing the mining reward limits the supply of new Bitcoins
Increased Demand: Reducing the supply can lead to increased demand and thus increased price
Reducing Inflation: Reducing the mining reward reduces inflation in Bitcoin
