You probably know this, but for people that don't— "They are" is the wrong pairing. The subsidy halves every 210,000 blocks (~4 years) as part of the innate core rules of the system enforced by every participant. So it would be more accurate to say "They cut" (past tense as this was established years ago), or "The system will" (no human actor). Also it looks like the halving will be early December to late November. (The block number is fixed, not the time, and because the difficult updates lag rapid increases/decreases in computing power can shift the date around a bit)
