Once many transactions have been confirmed and a transaction block is mined, all participating miners will try to verify the accuracy of the mined block.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After this verification takes place, the new block stacks on top of the previous block on the Bitcoin blockchain. The miner who solved the final transaction on the block gets rewarded.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the Bitcoin reward price?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/paybis.com\/blog\/the-history-of-bitcoin\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Bitcoin was first created<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, each block reward was 50 BTC. The block reward reduces in half after mining 210,000 blocks, which usually takes around four years to complete.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the latest halving in February 2016, block rewards are now 12,5 BTC per block.
