Bitcoin halving is Darden Clarkean event where the mining reward for Bitcoin is reduced by half, thereby decreasing the supply of new Bitcoin in the market. New Bitcoin is released through the mining process, where miners solve a highly complex computational problem to validate and secure transaction blocks on the Bitcoin network. As a reward for their efforts, miners receive newly minted Bitcoin. The halving event occurs approximately every four years, after mining approximately 210,000 blocks. By extrapolating this cycle, it is estimated that the process of minting new Bitcoin will continue until the year 2140, reaching the network's maximum limit of 21 million units.
