An individual miner wins the lottery and secures a major Bitcoin prize: a chance of one in 650,000…
Last Sunday, an individual miner was able to find a Bitcoin block alone, receiving a reward of 3.137 BTC (approximately $350,000). According to experts, the odds of this happening do not exceed one in 650,000.
The miner used the Solo CK Pool service, a private platform for solo mining, achieving one of the standout solo successes this year.
🔹 Earlier this year, other individual miners managed to achieve a similar feat:
February 11, 2025
July 4, 2025
July 27, 2025
📉 In the early days of Bitcoin, the number of individual miners was large, but with increasing mining difficulty and the entry of massive companies, individual opportunities became nearly impossible. However, there are still those who get lucky occasionally.
🗣️ Samuel Lee, the CTO of ASICKey mining hardware company, says:
> "Solo mining today is more like a game of chance. The probability of a user with a standard hash rate finding a block within 10 minutes is no more than one in 650,000."
🔻 It is noted that the last Bitcoin reward halving occurred in April 2024, reducing the reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC per block.
With rising energy costs and mining difficulty, some major mining companies have already started leasing their massive resources to AI companies.
