This hashrate is equivalent to a Bitmain Antminer S17+ mining device from 2019. The equipment of the fortunate user constitutes approximately 0.0000069% of the total Bitcoin network hashrate.
This marks the second instance this month of a solo miner successfully mining a block. On April 3, a CKPool participant with a power of 230 TH/s earned 3.139 BTC (around $210,000). However, such occurrences remain rare.
According to Bennet, over the past year, solo miners have found only 22 blocks, earning 69.24 BTC.
In the first quarter of 2026, the Bitcoin network’s hashrate declined by 6% — from 1066 EH/s to 1004 EH/s.
