How BTC500 Works

A dead-simple, rules-based Bitcoin investment strategy built around the halving cycle. No charts, no TA, no emotions.

1

Buy 500 Days Before

Set your buy order exactly 500 days before the next halving. The countdown above tells you exactly when.

2

Hold Through Halving

Hold your position as the halving event passes. This is where the magic happens — reduced supply meets sustained demand.

3

Sell 500 Days After

Exit exactly 500 days after halving. Lock in profits and wait for the next cycle. Rinse and repeat every ~4 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about the BTC500 strategy, Bitcoin halvings, and the free tools on this site.

What is the BTC500 strategy?

The BTC500 strategy is a simple Bitcoin investment approach: buy exactly 500 days before each halving event and sell exactly 500 days after. This rules-based method is designed to capture historically strong parts of Bitcoin's roughly four-year halving cycle without day-trading or technical analysis.

When is the next Bitcoin halving?

The next Bitcoin halving is projected for around April 2028, when block height reaches 1,050,000. The exact date depends on Bitcoin's average block time. BTC500 tracks live block height and estimates the countdown automatically.

How does the Bitcoin halving work?

Bitcoin halving occurs approximately every 210,000 blocks (~4 years). The block reward paid to miners is cut in half, reducing new Bitcoin supply issued each day. Scarcity from lower issuance has historically coincided with major multi-year price cycles.

Is BTC500 free to use?

Yes. BTC500's countdown, simulator, timeline, bear-market indicators, liquidation dashboard, articles, and embed widgets are free. No account is required.

Is this financial advice?

No. BTC500 is educational software and market data tooling. Nothing on the site is financial, investment, or trading advice. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always do your own research.

What tools does BTC500 include?

BTC500 includes a live halving countdown and Cycle Command Center, investment simulator, DCA vs lump sum comparison, interactive timeline, bear market bottom indicators, futures liquidation dashboard, insider trading tracker, crypto news feed, strategy articles, and free embed widgets.

Ready to Master the Halving Cycle?

The BTC500 strategy gives you a clear, data-backed plan. No guesswork, no FOMO, no emotional trading. Just a proven system.
