Cryptocurrency miner received $ 289,191 for a mined bitcoin block

on January 20, a solo miner managed to mine block 933,034 on the Bitcoin network BTC $88,956.43 Mezo Wrapped BTC 1.56% Market capitalization $52.06 million VOL. 24 hours $1.48 billion . His reward amounted to 3,131 BTC (about $ 289,191), including commissions for 1129 transactions of 0.006 BTC ($ 562). For mining, he rented capacity on the NiceHash platform, spending $ 90.

A similar incident occurred on January 15, when another solo miner successfully connected block 932,373 to the network. His income reached $ 304,814, of which $ 3058 came from commissions for 2,581 transactions. He also worked through NiceHash.

Amid these events, the bitcoin hashrate dropped below 1000 EH/s for the first time since September, to 992 EH/s. Analysts attribute the drop to the fact that some miners are reorienting their hardware to artificial intelligence tasks. The rate subsequently recovered to 1013 EH/s, but it is still below the record high of 1157 EH/s in October.

The mining complexity is also decreasing: the latest recalculation reduced it by 1.2% to 146.47 T. This makes the mining process somewhat easier, as it reduces the amount of computing work to find a block.

Over the week, the cash price fell from $ 42 to $ 38.5 per PH/s per day. In December 2025, another solo miner received $ 284,661 for block 927,474, which confirms that even with the decline in the hashrate, individual network participants can expect significant rewards.
