Quest: Find Out What Is the Current Bitcoin Reward Per Block

During the first 4 years of Bitcoin's operation, network nodes received 50 Bitcoin per block. The next four years received 25 BTC per block, and so on.

Task:

What is the current Bitcoin reward per block (in 2025)? (You can google this one)


Exercise

  • Every 4 years, the block reward is cut in half.
  • This sudden reduction effectively doubles the cost of Bitcoin production overnight.
  • Many miners are forced out of business due to increased costs, creating a new level of scarcity.
  • This scarcity places upward pressure on Bitcoin's price and is the cause of its periodic price behavior.
  • To observe this effect, return to the log price history chart and identify the impact of halving events on Bitcoin's price.
