[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

**Halving** bitcoins have a finite supply, which makes them a scarce digital commodity. The total amount of bitcoins that will ever be issued is 21 million. The number of bitcoins generated per block is decreased 50% every four years. This is called “halving.” The final halving will take place in the year 2140.
