When Bitcoin's block reward gets cut in half, happening roughly every four years.

Definition

When Bitcoin's block reward gets cut in half, happening roughly every four years. It reduces new BTC issuance, increasing scarcity. Halvings have historically preceded major bull runs, though past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
