As a keen observer of the 
cryptocurrency market, I'm particularly intrigued by the phenomenon of bitcoin halving. Could you elaborate on the exact amount of BTC that is entailed in such an event? Understanding the specifics of this process is crucial for investors looking to gauge its potential impact on the bitcoin supply and consequently, its price movements. I'm eager to know if there's a fixed number of BTC that's reduced during each halving, or if the amount varies based on certain factors. Clarifying this would greatly aid in my analysis of the bitcoin market.

    It ensures that the supply of Bitcoin remains limited and predictable over time, a key aspect of its economic model.
