The recent #Bitcoin halving event in April reduced the creation rate of new Bitcoins, a reward earned by Bitcoin miners, by half. In this Insights piece, Swati Kanoria, Ph.D. with #CRAFinance provides an overview of the economics of Bitcoin mining. She finds that post the recent halving, block rewards declined by 46%, while the estimated cost of electricity consumption, as a percentage of block rewards, increased by 27 percentage points from 40% in April to 67% in May 2024. https://crai.news/8hc
