Guide: What is Bitcoin Halving?
In crypto, the term halving refers to the reduction of the block reward given to miners. This process is especially important for digital currencies like Bitcoin, as their ecosystems are based on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism.
Halving ensures that a cryptocurrency will issue new coins at a steady rate until the maximum supply is finally reached.
Bitcoin halving
Take Bitcoin, for example, New coins are issued as part of a block reward process. Every time a Bitcoin miner “discovers” a block, they receive new coins as compensation. Read more about mining here.When Bitcoin first launched, the reward stood at 50 BTC per block. According to Bitcoin’s rules, this reward is cut by 50% every 4 years.
Verifiable scarcity
Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto decided that only 21 million bitcoins would ever exist. When the last BTC is released, 21 million coins will circulate in the market and this number will never increase. Verifiable scarcity is essential to Bitcoin’s value proposition.This contrasts with fiat currencies, where governments and central banks can print more money at their discretion, often leading to inflation.
Halving events
As there will only ever be 21 million bitcoins, there will only ever be 32 halving events. Once the 32nd halving event is complete, Bitcoin’s maximum supply of 21 million coins will have been reached. This will probably occur around the year 2140.At the next halving, in 2024, the number of bitcoins released per block will drop to around 3.125.
Halving & price
After every halving, it is likely that the value of mined coins will rise (decreased supply = increased demand). Understanding the concept of halving is useful for crypto traders as there is typically a positive correlation between halving events and price, especially with BTC.The halving process is an important part of the Bitcoin ecosystem and as its code is open-source, anyone can see it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
