The Bitcoin network has crossed a notable threshold: exactly 100,000 blocks remain until the next halving event, which will cut the block reward from 3.125 BTC to 1.5625 BTC. At the current average block time of roughly 10 minutes, that puts the halving approximately 694 days out — sometime in early 2027.

With 100,000 blocks as a round-number milestone, the countdown now enters a range where institutional positioning, miner economics, and market narrative all begin to shift…
