One of the solo miners in the Bitcoin network successfully mined block #943411, receiving 3.139 BTC in return, which is approximately $210,000. Such a result is considered extremely rare for individual miners, as the probability of such success is estimated at 1 in 28,000.

How the Miner Achieved Success
Block #943411 contained 3,977 transactions, and its processing was carried out by the miner through the Solo CK Pool. Experts note that this pool allows individual participants to receive the full reward for the block, minus a fee of about 2%. In this case, the fee amounted to approximately $940.
“A miner of this power has about a 1 in 28,000 chance each day to find a block,” said CKPool analyst Con Kolivas.
The miner’s system had a power of about 230 TH/s, which is only 0.00002% of the total hash rate of the Bitcoin network, currently estimated at about 1 ZH/s. This figure corresponds to several ASIC devices, likely set up in home environments.
Rare Cases of Solo Mining and Market Trends
Market specialists emphasize that individual block mining occurs very rarely, as most miners pool their resources into large pools for stable and predictable income. Solo CK Pool is one of the few pools that allows miners to receive the entire reward minus a small fee.
The event occurred against the backdrop of significant changes in the mining sector. In particular, MARA Holdings announced a reduction of about 15% of its staff as part of a strategic business transformation. Riot Platforms, another major mining company, sold 3,778 BTC in the first quarter of 2026, reinforcing the trend of mass sell-offs by miners due to unfavorable market conditions.
It is worth noting that in February 2026, another solo miner received over $200,000 in rewards by using rented hash rate instead of their own equipment. Such cases highlight the possibility of unexpected wins even for participants with small capacities, although the likelihood of such events remains extremely low.
