Fidelity Digital Assets stated in its latest research report that Bitcoin halving will not weaken the network's long-term security, as miner incentives come not only from block rewards but also from transaction fees and other economic incentives, so network security will not necessarily decline due to decreasing block rewards. The report noted that although the Bitcoin block subsidy has dropped to 3.125 BTC per block, driven by the rise in Bitcoin prices, miners' average daily revenue has increased from approximately $26.3k during the first halving cycle to over $40.2 million currently. Historically, both miner incentives and network security have strengthened along with Bitcoin price growth. (Cointelegraph)

From 26k to 40.2 million, increased more than a thousand times in fourteen years—this curve is more convincing than any model.

Fidelity, as a traditional asset management giant, studies Bitcoin in such detail, indicating that institutions are indeed seriously allocating, not just playing around.

Every halving, some people shout that it's over, but miners are sharper than anyone—if it weren't profitable, they would have shut down long ago; those who stay have done the math.

Fidelity's report is quite down-to-earth; miners' income is measured in US dollars, not BTC quantity. When the price goes up, everything is fine.

The block subsidy drops to 3.125, but if the coin price rises several times, miners earn more, yet security is actually stronger—there’s nothing wrong with this logic.

$40.2 million daily revenue, this number looks scary, but actually the fee ratio is still low when you calculate it. In the long term, it depends on whether L2 can drive demand.

Security ultimately relies on economic incentives. As long as someone is willing to pay transaction fees, miners have the motivation to maintain the network. Halving is just a different way to play the game.
