Bitcoin solo miner mines a block again after nearly 40 days, exclusively claiming a reward of approximately $245,000

TechFlow reports that on September 12, according to Bitcoin.com, an independent Bitcoin miner using Braiins Solo successfully mined block 966351, receiving the full block reward of 3.147 BTC, valued at approximately $245,000.

This marks the first time a solo miner has successfully mined a block on the Bitcoin network in nearly 40 days. The last occurrence was on August 2, when a miner using Solo CKPool received a reward of 3.1569 BTC. Currently, the top five pools—Foundry, Antpool, F2Pool, ViaBTC, and Spiderpool—collectively control approximately 78.31% of the Bitcoin network's hash rate, making the probability of independent miners successfully mining blocks relatively low.
