When does each Bitcoin halving happen?
Bitcoin’s first halving took place on November 28, 2012, at block height 210,000, reducing the block reward from 50 coins to 25.
Bitcoin halvings are triggered by block height: a halving occurs every 210,000 blocks. Based on an average of one block every 10 minutes, that works out to roughly once every four years.
When managing your funds, the most important thing to remember is this: when you see claims about a “halving rally,” first distinguish between protocol rules and interpretations of market movements.
