Quick Reference: Bitcoin Supply and Halvings
Bitcoin’s total supply is capped at about 21 million coins, according to the rule that block rewards are halved over time.
The first three halvings took place in 2012, 2016, and 2020, reducing the block reward to 25, 12.5, and 6.25 coins, respectively.
When you hear people call a halving a bullish signal, think it through: there are few historical examples to draw on, and many other factors affect market prices.
$BTC ’s new coin issuance is set by the consensus rules; no institution can arbitrarily increase the supply. The current figure is 82706.85.
