Bitcoin (BTC) performed exactly as expected in the year following the block subsidy reduction, which occurs once every four years.
FYI: Bitcoin Halving is an event where the block reward is halved. The reward block halving occurs every 210,000 blocks.
This halving event will only occur when half of the coin supply is in circulation. The halving will repeat when the remaining half of the coin supply is in circulation and continues like that for every 4 years according to the code.
The first halving occurred on 28 November 2012 were from 50 BTC to 25 BTC. The second halving took place on 9 July 2016 from 25 BTC to 12.5 BTC. The third most recent halving took place on 11 May 2020. Each halving day will affect the Bitcoin price.

"Bitcoin is currently between the 2013 and 2017 tracks," PlanB tweeted.
