When is the next 5th Bitcoin Halving scheduled?

The 5th Halving will occur exactly at Block 1,050,000, estimated around April 2028 depending on mining hashrate difficulty adjustments.

What happens when all 21 million Bitcoins are mined?

Around the year 2140, the block subsidy will reach zero. From that point forward, miners will be incentivized purely through transaction fees paid by users to include transactions in blocks.

Bitcoin Halving Questions & Answers

The Bitcoin Halving is a hard-coded protocol rule that cuts the number of newly issued Bitcoins created per block by 50% every 210,000 blocks (roughly every 4 years). This enforces Bitcoin's fixed 21 million supply limit and programmatic disinflation.
