I recently saw an interesting fact about Bitcoin - its current halving cycle has now surpassed 50%. That means we are at the midpoint of this significant cycle, and the next Bitcoin halving will have to wait until April 2028 - about two years away.

It is important to understand how Bitcoin halving works. Every 210,000 blocks, which takes roughly four years, the reward miners receive is halved. Currently, 3.125 BTC is given for each block, and on average, a block is mined every 10 minutes, meaning about 450 new coins are issued daily. This system controls Bitcoin’s inflation - currently below 1%.

There are about 105,000 blocks remaining in this cycle, and Bitcoin is gradually approaching its fixed cap of 21 million. Recently, the 20 millionth Bitcoin was mined, which means it will take another 114 years to mine the last 1 million coins.

Now, speaking about the price, it’s quite interesting. Since the April 2024 Bitcoin halving, the price has surged. It rose from $64,000 to peak at $126,000 in October 2025 - nearly double! But then, in early February, there was a sharp decline, dropping to $60,000. Currently, the price is around $77,800.

What I find most fascinating is that this time, the performance after the Bitcoin halving has been less than previous cycles. The rapid growth seen before did not occur this time. But that’s not a bad thing - it simply shows that Bitcoin is maturing. When an asset becomes very large, it requires much more capital to increase by 100% or 200%. Therefore, volatility is no longer as high as before, and price activity has become more stable.

This Bitcoin halving cycle reminds us that Bitcoin’s scarcity is its greatest strength. As each new era begins, the issuance of new coins decreases, supporting its price over the long term.
