We are rapidly approaching the next Bitcoin (BTC) halving, with the event now just days away. Currently, around 900 BTC are mined daily, amounting to approximately 27,000 BTC per month. Amid this data, Glassnode reveals an astonishing accumulation of 115,000 BTC over the past 30 days, marking one of the most bullish periods in a year.

As the halving looms closer, the monthly issuance is set to be cut in half to 13,500 BTC. This reduction in supply, coupled with the increasing demand outpacing the monthly issuance, sets the stage for an exciting Q2.
