The third Bitcoin halving occured today at 19:23 UTC, cutting the new supply of Bitcoin in half at block 630,000. But inside the penultimate block, 629,999, was a secret message, an homage to the origin of Bitcoin.
The Bitcoin halving, one of the most anticipated events in the crypto world, finally happened today at 19:23 UTC by AntPool. Miners who support the most valuable and revered blockchain network in the cryptocurrency ecosystem will now earn half as much as they used to, 6.25 BTC per block, just as Satoshi Nakamoto designed. Today’s milestone occurred when the 630,000th block was mined, triggering a 50% reduction in the reward miners receive. Miners will now receive only half as much Bitcoin per b...
"NYTimes 09/Apr/2020 With $2.3T Injection, Fed's Plan Far Exceeds 2008 Rescue," the block reads. This text was written in the coinbase transaction, where the miner sends themselves the reward.
The final Bitcoin block with a subsidy of 12.5 BTC was mined by @f2pool_official and contained the following message in its coinbase transaction:

As Bitcoin diehards know, this isn't the first time that a political statement has been put inside a Bitcoin block. The first ever Bitcoin block, known as the Genesis block, also contained a message.
This was, "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."
Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous inventor of Bitcoin, included this message from a Times newspaper article on the day the block was produced. It both timestamped the beginning or Bitcoin and the start of an era.
Wall Street legend Paul Tudor Jones, founder of Tudor Investment Corp., has between 1-2% of his assets in Bitcoin, according to an interview with CNBC. “It’s a great speculation. I’ve just got something ... just over one percent of my assets in Bitcoin. Maybe it’s almost two. That seems like the right number right now,” Jones said, adding, “Every day that goes by that Bitcoin survives, the trust in it will go up.” Last Thursday, Jones sent a letter to shareholders making the case that Bitcoin i...
While the political landscape has changed since then, the defining element of 2020 has been the huge surges in money printing in the US and around the world. Such monetary policy convinced Wall Street legend Paul Tudor Jones to back Bitcoin and put 1-2% of his net worth into it.

F2Pool, which mined the block, included the message to highlight this money printing—and to show that Bitcoin is an alternative. And while the Fed continues to print more dollars, the new supply of Bitcoin has just slowed right down.
The first satoshi mined on the Bitcoin blockchain after last week’s halving event, mined by Bitcoin mining pool ViaBTC, went up for auction—and fetched a sizable seven-figure sum. The auction of “epic sat” 1,968,750,000,000,000, hosted on the cryptocurrency exchange CoinEX, ended Thursday with a final bid of 33.3 Bitcoin ($2.13 million worth) winning the piece of Bitcoin history. It's not yet clear who won the auction. The auction of the Epic Sat began on April 20, the day after the halving, wit...
It's been roughly four days since Bitcoin (BTC)’s fourth halving event occurred, and market watchers have amassed enough data to give an early verdict on its effects. For one, Bitcoin’s supply inflation rate has collapsed, as expected. Each Bitcoin block—mined roughly once every ten minutes—now produces just 3.125 new BTC, half of its former 6.25 BTC block subsidy. Before the halving, 900 BTC was generated daily, fueling a 1.7% inflation rate. The new figures are roughly equivalent to 450 BTC pe...

Every four years, the amount of Bitcoin doled out to cryptocurrency miners halves in a process imaginatively known as the Bitcoin halving (or halvening, though the term has fallen out of favor in recent years). Here’s why—and how—it works. Bitcoin’s supply limit To understand the Bitcoin halving, we must first understand the theory behind its supply. The inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Naka...
