Diminishing returns pattern: each cycle's peak multiple has been declining. Past performance does not predict future results.

What is Bitcoin Halving?

Bitcoin's protocol reduces the block reward by 50% every 210,000 blocks (~4 years). This mechanism ensures a fixed total supply of 21 million BTC, making it a deflationary asset.

Historically, halvings have triggered supply shocks that preceded significant price appreciation -- though with diminishing returns each cycle. The estimated date above assumes a 10-minute average block time.
