According to Mike Alfred, CEO of Fintech and information company Digital Assets Data, this sudden surge in searches to halve Bitcoin is due to this “Increase in retail interest”.

This bitcoin halving process, which takes place every four years, halves the rewards of each block mined in the bitcoin blockchain. In this way, the supply rate halves every four years.

In this way, Bitcoin will experience its third halving event in the last few years of its third halving event next month, reducing the reward per block mined from the current 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC.
