The Bitcoin Halving is one of the most important events in the crypto ecosystem. It happens every 4 years and halves the number of bitcoins generated as a reward for miners. But why does this event have such an impact on the market? Here, I explain it clearly, with analysis and opinion.
📌 What exactly is the Halving?
When someone mines Bitcoin, they receive a reward for each validated block. In each Halving, that reward is halved. For example:
In 2020, miners earned 6.25 BTC per block.
In the 2024 Halving, that dropped to 3.125 BTC.
This mechanism is designed to control inflation and limit the total supply to 21 million BTC.
📊 How does it affect the price?
📈 Historical trend
In the previous 3 Halvings (2012, 2016, and 2020), the price of Bitcoin has shown this pattern:
1. Months before the Halving: slight rise due to speculation.
2. After the Halving: consolidation.
3. Months later: strong rise (bull run).
Although the past does not guarantee the future, the Halving tends to initiate bullish cycles due to the reduction in supply.
🤔 Why does it become more valuable?
Because less Bitcoin is created each time, but demand continues to grow. In 2025, with the entry of large institutions, more users, and clear regulatory frameworks, demand has outpaced supply. That drives up the price.
It's like gold becoming scarcer, but more and more people wanting to buy it. The same happens with BTC.
💬 Personal opinion
The Halving is not magic, but it changes the rules of the game. It's like pressing a button that readjusts the perceived value of Bitcoin. In my opinion, in 2025, this event has not only served to raise the price but also to consolidate BTC as a serious asset, beyond speculation.
In conclusion, we see that the Halving is a technical event with real economic effects. It reduces supply, influences mining, changes market dynamics, and often generates bullish cycles. If you are new to crypto, understanding this can help you see beyond the ups and downs of the price.
