US EditionSolo Bitcoin Miner Bags $330K Block Reward Despite Record Difficulty
- On June 5, 2025, an individual known as Solo CK successfully mined Bitcoin block number 899,826 by themselves, receiving a total reward of 3.151 BTC, which was valued at approximately $330,386 at that moment.
- At the time, the Bitcoin network's hashrate measured 795.35 million TH/s, representing a decline from 908.97 million TH/s recorded the previous day, yet remaining more than 40% above the level seen a year earlier.
- The reward included the fixed 3.125 BTC block subsidy plus approximately 0.026 BTC in transaction fees valued near $2,761, with the block size measuring 1.66 MB.
- Experts note solo mining is extremely rare and liken such solo block validation to winning a lottery due to the network's rising difficulty and dominant mining pools.
- Solo CK's success highlights the possibility, though uncommon, for individual miners to succeed independently despite increasing competition from large-scale mining operations.
