Create your free countdownThe next Bitcoin halving happens at block 1,050,000. As of October 25, 2026, the chain is at block 973,037, so 76,963 blocks remain — at the ten-minute target that is around April 11, 2028.
The date is an estimate. Blocks arrive roughly, not exactly, every ten minutes, so this page recalculates the countdown from the live block height every few minutes.
What happens at the halving
The new bitcoin paid to miners with every block — the block subsidy — is cut in half every 210,000 blocks. At block 1,050,000 it drops from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC.
Halvings slow the creation of new bitcoin until the total supply approaches its 21 million cap. The previous halving took place at block 840,000 on April 20, 2024.
Why the date keeps moving
The halving is tied to a block number, not a calendar date. When blocks come faster than every ten minutes — for example after more mining power joins the network — the halving arrives earlier; when they slow down, it moves later.
This page reads the current block height from a public block explorer (mempool.space) and assumes ten-minute blocks for the rest of the way.
