Bitcoin halving refers to the predetermined event in the Bitcoin protocol where the reward that miners receive for validating transactions and adding them to the blockchain is reduced by half. This event occurs approximately every 4 years, or precisely every 210,000 blocks mined. The process is hard-coded into the Bitcoin algorithm to control the rate at which new bitcoins are created and introduced into circulation (also known as scarcity).
