Halving Runway
The schedule of upcoming Bitcoin halving events compared to current daily demand absorption. Each halving cuts the daily mining issuance in half on a known block-height schedule (every 210,000 blocks ≈ every 4 years). Today's demand absorbs ~6× the new mining supply; after the next halving (April 2028), the ratio doubles overnight.
How to read it
The runway lays the next several halvings against current demand. The key is that demand does not need to grow for scarcity to intensify: issuance halves on a fixed schedule, so a 6× demand-to-mining ratio today becomes 12× in April 2028 and 24× in 2032 with demand merely flat. Read each bar as the same buyers chasing half the new coins.
On Galaxy Mind
The /float page renders the runway as a four-bar chart of the demand-to-mining ratio at each of the next three halvings, and the reservoir's FORECAST mode animates the same drain through 2036 with a thud at each halving milestone. The /bitcoin-halving-countdown page tracks blocks and days to the next cut, live.
Context
Halvings land every 210,000 blocks, roughly four years: 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024, next around April 2028. Issuance is currently about 450 BTC per day and absorbs no negotiation: no price, no demand level, no miner lobbying changes the schedule. That predictability is the entire point.
