Whether or not that\u2019s a direct explanation, Bitcoin tends to experience a bull run after every halving; it\u2019s not as much a mathematical guarantee as much as the market tending to go bananas over the event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2012, BTC jumped over 350% leading up to the halving, and over 8,000% in the subsequent year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016, BTC climbed 142% leading up to the halving, and over 284% in the subsequent year.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2020, BTC grew 17% leading up to the halving, and over 559% in the subsequent year.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statistically, things look good for a Bitcoin bull run at BTC&#8217;s next halving.
