Solo Bitcoin Miner With 270 TH/s Lands Full 3.133 BTC Block Reward on 12 December 2025
On 12 December 2025, a solo Bitcoin miner using CKpool's service unexpectedly solved block 927,474 with roughly 270 TH/s of hashpower, securing the full 3.133 BTC block reward valued at about $284,000. With only 0.00002% of the network's total computing power and odds estimated at one successful block every 82 years, the event highlights both the extreme risk and rare upside of solo mining in a market dominated by large industrial operators.
