Следующий халвинг
Награда за блок уменьшается вдвое каждые ~4 года
Каждый халвинг уменьшает награду майнеров за блок на 50%. Bitcoin's issuance rate is hard-coded — this event is mathematically predictable, not subject to governance. Исторически халвинги предшествовали многомесячным ценовым экспансиям, однако прошлые результаты не гарантируют будущей доходности.
Контекст цикла
Как халвинг сформировал исторические и текущие циклы
Четырёхлетний цикл Bitcoin привязан к халвингу: каждые 210 000 блоков (приблизительно четыре года) награда за блок — и, следовательно, скорость поступления новых BTC в обращение — уменьшается вдвое. График жёстко закодирован в протоколе и не может быть изменён без подавляющего социального консенсуса, что делает халвинг единственным достоверно предсказуемым событием предложения в любом крупном классе активов.
Последний халвинг произошёл 19 апреля 2024 года на блоке 840 000, снизив награду с 6,25 BTC до 3,125 BTC. Следующий проектируется примерно на апрель 2028 года на блоке 1 050 000, снижая награду до 1,5625 BTC. Каждый халвинг сокращает дневную эмиссию примерно вдвое, в то время как структурный спрос (потоки ETF, казначейские распределения, розничные покупки) остаётся стабильным или растёт — создавая асимметрию спроса и предложения, которая исторически отмечала начало каждого многоквартального бычьего цикла.
Исторические пост-халвинг доходности: цикл 2012 года обеспечил примерно 96× от дня халвинга до пика (пик ~1150 USD в ноябре 2013); цикл 2016 года — примерно 30× (пик ~19 800 USD в декабре 2017); цикл 2020 года — примерно 7,9× (пик ~69 000 USD в ноябре 2021). Тренд ясен: убывающие доходности по мере созревания рынка, но устойчивая направленная картина многоквартальной экспансии длительностью около 12–18 месяцев после каждого халвинга.
Текущий цикл — халвинг 2024 года — имеет дополнительное структурное изменение: спотовые Bitcoin ETF были одобрены в январе 2024 года, за три месяца до халвинга. ETF поглощают примерно 2000–4000 BTC в день чистых покупок в фазах накопления, сопоставимо по масштабу с дневной новой эмиссией при текущей награде 3,125 BTC. Это постоянный сток спроса, которого не было ни в одном предыдущем цикле, и это главная структурная причина, по которой базовый сценарий этого цикла выглядит иначе.
Network activity

Hashrate trend (90 days)

Bitcoin's hashrate represents the total computing power dedicated to mining at any given moment. Higher hashrate means the network is more expensive to attack and reflects ongoing investment by miners — a quasi-fundamental signal that, over multi-quarter windows, tends to correlate with miner confidence in future BTC price.
The 90-day trend shows hashrate has declined by 11.8%, while the 30-day move of -15.9% shows the more recent direction. Difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks (about two weeks) to keep block time near the 10-minute target — the table above shows the most recent adjustments, each one resetting the cost basis of mining for the next epoch.

Текущее состояние: Bitcoin is trading at $63,491.12 with a $1,272.1 billion market capitalization (rank #1). The price moved +4.28% over the past 24 hours and is -13.82% over 7 days; the 30-day move stands at -20.83% and the 90-day at -7.22%.
Позиция в цикле: A drawdown of this magnitude is within the typical correction range — historically resolved in either direction, often via a re-test of the prior peak before a definitive break.
Волатильность и структура: 30-day realized volatility of 37.9% annualized is moderate for an asset this size. Our composite multi-horizon Price Strength reads Bearish (31/100), against a weakening multi-horizon backdrop with cumulative pressure across 30/90-day windows.

Bitcoin's performance grid shows the asset gained 2.33% over the last 24 hours, with the 7-day picture 15.43% lower and the 30-day frame 22.31% lower. Over the trailing 365 days, the asset has delivered losses of 40.97%, against a weakening multi-horizon backdrop.
The asset currently trades 50.0% below its all-time high, deep in the post-peak drawdown regime where statistical mean-reversion historically matters less than narrative and liquidity flow. 30-day realized volatility sits at 38% annualized — moderate territory for a crypto asset of this size.
Bitcoin currently shows thin turnover that warrants caution on larger orders. 24-hour trading volume represents 0.105% of market capitalization — our liquidity-health composite scores this as Thin (30/100). This is on the lighter end of the top-100 range; large orders should be sliced into the market rather than executed at once.
As Bitcoin itself, this asset is the reference against which other coins' BTC correlation is measured. Bitcoin's own dominant correlations are with the broad risk-asset complex (S&P 500, Nasdaq) during liquidity contractions, and with gold and the dollar index during regime changes in macro sentiment.

The forecast above combines three independent models per the STNews methodology:
- Technical model projects ranges from moving-average, ATR, Bollinger band and trend-slope inputs — useful when the asset is in a clean trending or ranging regime.
- Statistical (Monte Carlo) model uses the 90-day distribution of daily log returns to project the 5th, 50th and 95th percentile prices at each horizon — useful as an unbiased baseline that does not assume any trend continuation.
- Peer-relative model compares against same-category coins of similar market cap, projecting where this asset would trade if it matched the median, lower-quartile and upper-quartile peer return profiles — useful as a sanity check that anchors to broader sector behavior.
The ensemble forecast shown is a weighted average (40% statistical · 30% technical · 30% peer-relative). The confidence badge reflects how closely the three models agree: tighter agreement → higher confidence; wider disagreement → lower confidence, indicating that the asset is in a regime where statistical models alone are unreliable.

Pearson correlation of daily log returns vs top L1 references
Beyond Bitcoin, BTC's 90-day return correlations to the other two largest layer-1 references help characterize whether the asset moves as part of a crypto-market beta complex or as something more idiosyncratic. The Pearson correlations across daily log returns:
- Ethereum reference: +0.90 — a very strong positive relationship.
- Solana reference: +0.87 — a very strong positive relationship.
Strong correlation to multiple references typically indicates that the asset trades primarily as crypto-market beta — moves in BTC/ETH/SOL drive most of the price action, and stand-alone alpha is harder to capture. Weak or negative correlations indicate idiosyncratic drivers (project-specific news, sector rotation within crypto, or narrative shifts) that can produce returns uncorrelated with the broader market.
О Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) is криптовалюта первого уровня (Layer-1), работающая на собственной независимой блокчейн-сети. It trades at $63,491.12 as of the latest update, with a 24-hour move up 2.81%, placing it at rank #1 by market capitalisation among all listed digital assets. Bitcoin's current market cap stands at $1.27T, a figure used by traders, analysts and institutional desks to gauge relative liquidity and risk exposure across the crypto market.
На этой странице вы найдёте живую панель, обновляемую ежедневно, которая отслеживает Bitcoin по нескольким источникам данных — история цен за несколько лет, on-chain активность при наличии, фундаментальные показатели (циркулирующее предложение и разводнение), топ-биржи по объёму, технический анализ со скользящими средними и RSI, а также алгоритмический краткосрочный, среднесрочный и долгосрочный прогноз. Все цифры взяты из публичных API и кэшируются локально; ничто здесь не является инвестиционной рекомендацией.
Bitcoin (BTC) is the original cryptocurrency: a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital monetary network proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto in October 2008 and launched in January 2009. With a hard-capped supply of 21 million coins and a predictable issuance schedule that halves every four years, it was designed as digital sound money — credibly scarce, censorship-resistant, and verifiable without trusting any third party.
Bitcoin's value proposition is deliberately narrow. It does not aim to be programmable money, the substrate for an application platform, or a high-throughput payments rail. It aims to be the most resilient, most credibly neutral, and most predictably scarce monetary asset in human history — and the metric that matters most is its survival and security over decades, not its block time or transaction throughput in a given quarter.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $63,491 with a market capitalization of $1,272 billion, representing roughly 50% of all cryptocurrency value. It is widely accepted as a store-of-value reserve asset by individuals, corporate treasuries, sovereign entities, and — since the January 2024 spot-ETF approvals — large-scale institutional allocators.
By market value Bitcoin (BTC) sits inside the top ten, trading at $63,491.12 as of the latest snapshot. BTC is +2.81% over 24 hours, -4.60% over the past week, -3.74% over 30 days, putting it among the weekly underperformers across the top 250 by market capitalisation. Bitcoin trades 49% off its all-time high of $124,658.54, a level reached 8 months ago. Roughly 95% of BTC's total supply is liquid today (20.04M of 21.00M), with the balance scheduled for gradual release over time.
Trading volume is light versus market value — only about 0.1% of capitalisation changes hands daily — so larger orders can move price more than they would for higher-liquidity peers. On a one-year view BTC has lost 32.0%, against a broader crypto-market backdrop that closed the period roughly flat after several volatile quarters.
Как это работает — Bitcoin
Bitcoin защищён майнингом proof-of-work: майнеры соревнуются в решении криптографической задачи, и тот, кто решит её первым, публикует следующий блок транзакций и получает награду за блок. Сеть корректирует сложность задачи каждые 2 016 блоков (примерно две недели), так что новый блок производится приблизительно каждые 10 минут независимо от того, сколько вычислительной мощности подключено. Bitcoin не имеет смарт-контрактов, стейкинга, набора валидаторов и on-chain управления — это намеренно монетарная сеть с единственной целью.
Предложение ограничено 21 миллионом BTC, а награда за блок уменьшается вдвое каждые 210 000 блоков (примерно четыре года). Последний халвинг снизил награду до 3,125 BTC в апреле 2024 года; следующий запланирован примерно на апрель 2028 года с наградой 1,5625 BTC. Каждый халвинг сжимает график новой эмиссии и исторически отмечает структурный переломный момент четырёхлетнего цикла.
Пропускная способность базового слоя намеренно ограничена — в среднем около 7 транзакций в секунду. Сценарии использования с высоким объёмом работают на вторых уровнях, в первую очередь на Lightning Network, использующей платёжные каналы, защищённые Bitcoin, для расчёта высокочастотных транзакций с низкой комиссией.
Сценарии использования — Bitcoin
Основные сценарии использования Bitcoin отражают его дизайн как монетарной сети:
- Сохранение стоимости. Доминирующий сценарий. Частные лица, корпорации (особенно Strategy, ранее MicroStrategy, с ~250 000 BTC) и суверенные субъекты держат BTC как цифровую альтернативу золоту — достоверно дефицитный, транспортируемый через границы без разрешения и вне монетарной политики какой-либо одной юрисдикции.
- Расчётный слой. Bitcoin всё чаще используется как расчётный слой для транзакций большой стоимости и низкой частоты, где окончательность и расчёт без контрагента важнее скорости.
- Платежи через Lightning. Lightning Network позволяет почти мгновенные платежи с комиссиями ниже цента, с растущим внедрением в регионах с валютной нестабильностью и как канал денежных переводов.
- Залог. BTC — самая широко принимаемая форма криптовалютного залога как на централизованных, так и на децентрализованных платформах кредитования.
- Резервный актив для ETF. Спотовые Bitcoin ETF (IBIT, FBTC, BITB и другие) совместно держат более миллиона BTC, делая актив доступным через традиционные брокерские счета.
Для чего Bitcoin не используется: смарт-контракты, децентрализованные приложения, NFT (Ordinals — нишевый оверлей), доходный стейкинг. Всё, что требует программируемости, работает в другой сети.
Токеномика
Supply schedule & distribution
- Circulating supply: 20.04M BTC — tokens actively trading and held by the public
- Total supply: 20.04M BTC — all tokens minted to date (including those locked or held by the issuer)
- Max supply: 21.00M BTC — the protocol-defined upper limit (if any) on lifetime issuance
- Issued to date: 95.4% of max supply
Bitcoin's supply schedule directly affects its long-term inflation rate and, by extension, how dilutive future issuance will be to existing holders. A coin near full dilution behaves very differently from one that still has 60% of its supply waiting to be unlocked.
Supply economics
Issuance pressure, dilution, and structural value accrual
Bitcoin's tokenomics combine its supply schedule, current circulating supply, and the relationship between circulating market cap and fully-diluted valuation. At 95.4% of maximum supply already issued, the remaining issuance is a relatively small fraction of total potential supply. Sell pressure from future issuance is therefore limited.
For thesis-building, the relevant question is whether the structural value accrual mechanism (fee burns, staking yield reinvestment, deflationary supply mechanics, ecosystem TVL growth) outpaces the structural emission pressure. When it does, the price tends to grind higher over multi-quarter windows even without speculative momentum; when it does not, the asset typically requires consistent narrative-driven demand to absorb the issuance.
Заметка трейдера
Тактическая интерпретация по типу монеты
For Bitcoin, the tactical framework that has historically mattered most is the four-year cycle anchored to the halving. The current cycle's position determines whether the strategic posture is accumulation (early-cycle, post-halving) or distribution-aware (late-cycle, parabolic). Network-health metrics — hashrate, difficulty trajectory, mempool fees — provide the same kind of signal for BTC that earnings provide for equities: the underlying business of mining is either growing or contracting, and the price tends to follow over multi-quarter windows.
The Price Strength composite at 31/100 reads as bearish. Combined with the 49%% from all-time high, this is the kind of setup that has historically rewarded patience: careful entries near support outperform chasing rebounds. Position sizing should reflect that PoW-chain volatility tends to amplify both directions, with single-week moves of 15%+ entirely normal.

Market sentiment
Crypto Fear & Greed Index · alternative.me
The Crypto Fear & Greed Index aggregates volatility, market momentum, social media activity, dominance and Google Trends data into a single 0–100 score updated daily. Today's reading is 12 — Extreme Fear.
Extreme fear (below 25) historically signals buying opportunities for contrarians, while extreme greed (above 75) often precedes corrections. The index works best as one input among many, not as a standalone trading signal.
Macro & cross-asset context
How macro liquidity and cross-asset moves frame the trade
The macro backdrop for crypto assets in 2026 is dominated by the Federal Reserve's rate path, the trajectory of dollar liquidity, and the unwind (or non-unwind) of the post-2020 expansion in M2 money supply. Crypto assets — and Bitcoin in particular — have historically responded most strongly to changes in the global liquidity regime, with risk-on phases coinciding with falling real yields and a softening dollar, and risk-off phases the inverse.
The cross-asset relationships worth monitoring: the dollar index (DXY) — historically inversely correlated with crypto over longer windows; the 10-year Treasury yield — a proxy for the cost of risk capital; gold — which often shares "monetary hedge" framing with Bitcoin during certain regime changes; and the S&P 500 — which during liquidity-driven moves often rhymes with crypto despite the popular framing of crypto as uncorrelated.
For Bitcoin specifically, the macro variable that has empirically led price most often is global crypto-market liquidity — proxied by stablecoin total supply, futures open interest, and exchange volumes. When these expand, BTC tends to follow; when they contract, the relationship typically reverses.

Риски, специфичные для Bitcoin как монетарной сети proof-of-work:
- Концентрация майнинга. Три крупнейших майнинг-пула совместно контролируют более 50% глобального хешрейта. Хотя ни один пул исторически не действовал злонамеренно, эта концентрация представляет структурный риск.
- Энергетический и регуляторный риск. Электрический след майнинга Bitcoin привлекает устойчивое политическое внимание. Юрисдикционные запреты (Китай 2021) исторически вызывали краткосрочные падения хешрейта, но не повредили сеть в долгосрочной перспективе.
- Квантовые вычисления (long-tail). Достаточно продвинутый квантовый компьютер теоретически мог бы взломать подписи на эллиптических кривых. Это многодесятилетний горизонт, и сообщество активно исследует пост-квантовые обновления.
- Макрокорреляция. Несмотря на нарратив "некоррелированного актива", BTC исторически коррелировал с рисковыми активами (Nasdaq) во время сжатий ликвидности. Преимущества диверсификации реальны, но не абсолютны.
- Хранение. Самостоятельное хранение требует операционной осмотрительности; потеря приватных ключей необратима. Кастодиальные решения возвращают риск контрагента.
- Волатильность. Bitcoin исторически демонстрировал 60–80% годовой реализованной волатильности — в разы выше, чем у акций. Размер позиции должен это отражать.
Frequently asked questions
Who created Bitcoin? ▾
Bitcoin was created by an anonymous developer or group of developers using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The whitepaper was published in October 2008 and the first block was mined on January 3, 2009. Satoshi's real identity has never been verified.
What is the maximum supply of Bitcoin? ▾
Bitcoin has a hard-coded maximum supply of 21 million coins. The remaining supply will be released gradually through the mining reward, which halves approximately every four years. The final Bitcoin is projected to be mined around the year 2140.
How is Bitcoin different from other cryptocurrencies? ▾
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and remains the largest by market capitalization. It is primarily designed as a store of value and a censorship-resistant payment network, not a platform for smart contracts or decentralized applications. Other major networks like Ethereum focus on programmability; Bitcoin focuses on simplicity, security and predictable monetary policy.
