BITCOIN BLOCK REWARD = Subsidy + Fees

For their work, miners get:

A subsidy, in the form of freshly minted bitcoins.

Plus, the fees from the verified transactions included in that block.

When you send bitcoin to someone, that transaction includes a fee and needs to be verified by a miner, and then included in a block.

The bitcoin block subsidy gets cut in half every four years.

It is currently 3.125 bitcoin per block that is mined.

The next 'halving' will be in 2028, at which point the block reward will drop to 1.5625 bitcoin per block mined.

As mentioned before, this keeps the issuance stable.

In the year 2140, the last piece of bitcoin will be mined.

After that, miners will only get the fees from the transactions they verify in each block.
