An independent Bitcoin miner successfully processed block 913,632 on Sunday using the Solo CKPool platform. For this validation, the miner received a reward of 3.13 BTC, worth approximately $347,872.

The block included 593 transactions totaling 473.61 BTC, valued at $52.6 million, according to blockchain explorer data. This marks the second time this month that a solo miner has managed to earn a reward on the Bitcoin network, despite intense competition.

The event comes as Bitcoin’s mining difficulty reached a record high of 136.04 trillion. This increase reflects the growing level of network participation and the significant resources invested by large-scale industrial operations.

Although most blocks are processed by major mining companies, these rare solo successes continue to highlight the decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network.
