Every Bitcoin halving
Dates are in UTC. Each event halves the newly issued subsidy; transaction fees are separate.
A block height is certain. A date is an estimate.
Bitcoin halves its subsidy every 210,000 blocks. This countdown adds the remaining blocks × 10 minutes to the latest block’s timestamp. The timer then runs toward that estimate. Blocks do not arrive on a fixed clock, so the date moves as new blocks are mined.
We check mempool.space once a minute, with Blockstream as a fallback. The last check and source appear above. Delayed data is labeled; after an hour without a successful refresh, the live figures are hidden. All displayed dates use UTC.
Halving questions
What changes during a halving?
The newly issued subsidy per block is cut in half. At the same block pace, this also halves daily issuance. Miners still receive transaction fees.
Does a halving guarantee a higher Bitcoin price?
No. The halving changes new supply, not demand. Liquidity, market expectations, regulation and the wider economy also affect price. Earlier cycles do not guarantee future returns.
Why do countdowns show different dates?
Some use Bitcoin’s 10-minute target; others extrapolate recent block times. Both are estimates. Mining difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks toward the target pace, and future mining power is unknown. Only the trigger block is fixed.
