Bitcoin: Solo Miners Earn Over 113 BTC in 2026

Independent bitcoin mining still sometimes holds surprises against large industrial operations. Between February and November 2026, several participants managed to discover blocks despite often limited computing power. According to data from Soloblocks.io, these operations represent 36 discoveries and approximately 113,149 BTC in cumulative rewards. These results, valued at nearly 8.5 million dollars, illustrate the possibilities of solo mining but also the tiny probabilities surrounding this activity. Solo mining of bitcoin is based on a simple principle: a participant tries to discover a block without relying on a large industrial operation. They connect their hardware to the network and perform calculations to find a valid solution. When successful, the rules of the service used determine how they receive the reward.
