Bitcoin's Halving Clock Ticks Down With Fewer Than 80,000 Blocks Left
- —About 79,950 blocks remain, with 61% of the current cycle already mined
- —Block reward will fall from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC at height 1,050,000
- —Daily issuance drops from 450 BTC to 225 BTC, annual inflation to 0.4%
- —The T-500 window, 500 days before the halving, begins in 55 days
Why it matters: Reduced new supply has historically supported BTC price gains over the following year, though skeptics question whether the four-year cycle will repeat.
