The roughly quadrennial halving event of Bitcoin seems to have once again captured the interest of all investors. The reason for this is that the block reward for cryptocurrency mining will be halved, effectively reducing the rate at which new Bitcoins are produced and put into circulation. This mechanism is at the heart of Bitcoin‘s deflationary economic model and is designed to keep the total Bitcoin supply capped at 21 million.

Key Data on the Halving Event

Historically, halving events have had significant impacts on the price of Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. The first Bitcoin halving event in 2012 reduced the block reward from 50 to 25 Bitcoins, followed by subsequent halving events in 2016 and 2020, which reduced the rewards to 12.5 and 6.25 Bitcoins, respectively.

While these events traditionally lead to increased market interest and significant price increases, there is an increasing dialogue about their environmental impacts. The reduction in mining rewards brings up questions of sustainability in the mining industry, particularly how it could encourage a transition to greener, more energy-efficient technologies in the face of diminishing returns. Such changes are crucial for the long-term viability of Bitcoin, especially as environmental concerns occupy a central place in the discussion alongside economic factors.

Bitcoin Mining and Energy Consumption

The halving of Bitcoin’s mining rewards, particularly due to the related computational processes predominantly consuming large amounts of electricity derived from fossil fuels, has reinforced the discourse surrounding the already high energy consumption of the cryptocurrency.

Critics also point out that reducing mining rewards could lead miners to adopt more energy-intensive practices to maintain profitability, which could worsen Bitcoin’s carbon footprint and thus conflict with many of the United Nations’ global sustainability goals.

Not everyone is convinced that the halving event will lead to an increase in energy consumption. Aarvind Sathyanandam, co-founder and chief strategy officer of the Bitcoin-based decentralized finance platform Velar, stated in his remarks that the event will primarily affect the block reward given to miners in the Bitcoin network and will not impact energy consumption.
