A rare solo miner wins 3.1 BTC as hashrate surges.
A personal Bitcoin miner unexpectedly mined block 903,883 on July 3, 2025, receiving a reward of 3,173 BTC ( worth approximately 350,000 USD ). This achievement is particularly rare against the backdrop of the total network hashrate reaching 15 EH/s, according to new data from Block and Core Scientific.
According to the 2024 study by ecos.am, the probability of a single miner successfully mining a block is 1 in 100 trillion — reflecting the dominance of large mining pools that control over 80% of the total hashrate.
This event coincides with the cryptocurrency market rising sharply, with the price of Bitcoin reaching 109,238 USD on Coinbase. Additionally, the "Crypto Week" (14–18/7/2025) in the US also signals positive policy changes, which could provide further momentum for the solo mining model.
