Bitcoin halving (estimate)

NetworkSun 12 Mar 2028, 13:22 UTC

At block 1,050,000 the block reward drops to 1.5625 BTC. 74,208 blocks are left. The date moves with the real block rate, so treat it as an estimate.

Where these dates come from

  • Options expiries are listed when more than $250 million of Bitcoin or Ether options expire on Deribit on one day. Expiries above $1 billion are marked medium impact, above $3 billion high.
  • Bitcoin network dates are estimated from mempool.space data. The difficulty adjustment and halving dates move a little as blocks arrive faster or slower.
  • Other events such as upgrades, token unlocks or economic data releases are added by hand by the site's editors and link to their source.

An event on this list is not a prediction that prices will move. Many large expiries pass quietly.
