What happens to the other half of my bonus?

I know how prorated bonus work. If I was hired halfway through the cycle then I only get 50% off my bonus. This might sound like a dumb question but what about the other half? If I was awarded $50k but will only receive $25k because I was a new hire, will I see the other $25k in next years bonus (hopefully I live that long)?
