A lone Bitcoin miner has beaten 1 in 7 million odds and secured a $347,000 jackpot reward.
Miners used Solo CKPool to solve block 919,923, earning a total of 3.1 BTC.
Only eight solo mining wins were recorded in 2025, demonstrating Bitcoin's unpredictable proof-of-work nature.
A solo Bitcoin miner has hit the ultimate crypto jackpot, winning $347,000 from a single block. Against 1 in 7 million odds, this solo miner was able to defeat the industry giants and reap the full Bitcoin reward.
The win comes as Bitcoin surged over $111,000, up more than 3% in the past 24 hours, reaching a market capitalization of $2.21 trillion.
Solo Bitcoin miner hits the jackpot
This week, a lone Bitcoin miner successfully solved block 919,923 around 10:30 UTC on Monday, mining gold and acquiring 3.1 BTC worth approximately $347,000, according to on-chain data.
This block contained 182 transactions and added a small bonus of 0.001 BTC to the fees. The mining was done through Solo CKPool, a platform that allows individuals to mine Bitcoin without operating their own nodes.
This rare success story shows once again that Bitcoin's decentralized proof-of-work system still gives small miners a fair chance of winning big.

Beat the 1 in 7 million chance
According to the data, the miner's hardware generated approximately 200 terahashes per second (TH/s), similar to the latest Antminer S21, which is only 0.00002% of Bitcoin's total network hash rate.
Currently, the global hashrate is over 600 exahashes per second, and the odds of a single miner discovering a block are approximately 1 in 7 million. While most individuals rely on small rigs, large pools like F2Pool and AntPool dominate the computing power of the network.
This is a rare event, with only about eight successful isolated mines recorded so far in 2025, highlighting how competitive and random Bitcoin's proof-of-work system is.
The miner's success comes amid a strong bullish mood in the Bitcoin market. As of today, BTC is trading around $111,000, up 4% in the past 24 hours.
