How Are Bitcoins Mined?

Bitcoin is mined using specialized mining hardware, most commonly ASIC miners, designed to perform the SHA-256 mining algorithm with maximum efficiency.

SHA-256 is a cryptographic hashing algorithm that secures the Bitcoin network. It converts data into a unique digital fingerprint, making it virtually impossible to reverse or alter without enormous computational power.

Mining requires significant computing power to solve complex mathematical calculations. Approximately every 10 minutes, a new block is added to the blockchain, and miners receive a block reward along with transaction fees for validating the network.

Before the Bitcoin halving in April 2024, miners earned a reward of 6.25 BTC per block. After the halving, the reward was reduced to 3.125 BTC. This mechanism, created by Bitcoin's founder Satoshi Nakamoto, limits the supply of new bitcoins and helps preserve their long-term value.

With each halving event, mining becomes more challenging from a profitability perspective. However, the decreasing supply of newly mined bitcoins can contribute to higher market value over time.
