Bitcoin Halving Countdown

What is Bitcoin Halving?
Bitcoin halving is a pre-programmed event that occurs every 210,000 blocks (~4 years). It cuts the block reward miners receive in half, reducing the rate of new BTC entering circulation. This mechanism ensures Bitcoin's total supply never exceeds 21 million coins.
