Why is Bitcoin capped at 21 million coins?
In April 2024, Bitcoin completed its fourth halving at block 840,000, reducing the block reward from 6.25 coins to 3.125.
The original block reward was 50 coins. It has since been cut in half every 210,000 blocks, roughly once every four years.
One thing to pay close attention to when managing your position: to find out how far away the next halving is, check the current block height. The next halving will occur at block 1,050,000.
