Bitcoin is less than 80,000 blocks away from its 2028 halving

The Bitcoin network is now less than 80,000 blocks away from its fifth halving, expected around April 2028. This milestone will cut the subsidy paid to miners from 3.125 to 1.5625 bitcoin per block, but its exact date will continue to shift with the network’s production rate.

The 2028 Bitcoin halving will occur at block 1,050,000.

Fewer than 80,000 blocks remain before this milestone.

The mining reward will drop from 3.125 to 1.5625 BTC.

In 2032, the reward will be less than 1 BTC per block.

The halving does not guarantee an increase in the price of bitcoin.

The 2028 Bitcoin halving will occur at block 1,050,000

The blockchain had passed block 970,100 on October 6. At that point, around 79,900 blocks remained before the next halving, which will be triggered automatically at block 1,050,000.

The date is not specified directly in the protocol. It is based on an estimate that assumes an average interval of about ten minutes between blocks. The main reference points are now as follows:

Current height: approximately 970,100 blocks;

Height of the next halving: 1,050,000;

Blocks remaining to be produced: about 79,900;

Estimated date: around April 13 or 14, 2028;

Current subsidy: 3.125 BTC per block;

Future subsidy: 1.5625 BTC per block.

Only the height of 1,050,000 is certain. The April 2028 date may move forward or backward by several days, depending on the available computing power and how quickly miners find new blocks.
