On July 3, 2025, a solo miner with a hash rate of 2.3 PH/s mined Bitcoin block #903883, earning 3,173 $BTC (approximately $350,000). According to Solo CK pool analyst Kon Kolivas, the probability of such success was 1 in 2800, or once every 8 years. The block, containing 3949 transactions, was processed by the Solo CK pool, which supports individual miners without resource pooling, as in traditional pools.
Meanwhile, large mining companies are experiencing a downturn. According to TheMinerMag, in April 2025, public miners sold 115% of the mined bitcoins due to a decline in profitability to $55 per 1 PH/s. China's Cango mined 1541 BTC since the beginning of the year, and MARA Holdings set a record at 950 BTC in May, but the financial reports for Q1 2025 remain bleak.
This case highlights that solo mining, despite its high difficulty, remains a chance for individual enthusiasts. Solo miners embody the decentralized spirit of Bitcoin, proving that even small setups can generate significant income.
