Google Searches for 'Bitcoin Halving' Get Higher Than 4/20
Summary
Google searches for "Bitcoin halving" have hit an all-time high, surpassing the previous record set during the last halving in May 2020. Interest has steadily increased since the start of 2024, with a surge this month despite Bitcoin's recent price turbulence. The upcoming halving will cut the block reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC and is notable due to increased interest in Bitcoin, U.S. mining industry onshoring, and the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs. This is the first halving where major U.S. asset managers are educating on Bitcoin. Search frequency for "Bitcoin halving" has surpassed the cannabis culture meme number "420" for the first time.
