A lone miner again defies the odds and pockets $200,000 in Bitcoin
While the industry is still digesting the $114 million that went missing in the Coldcard hack, a lone miner has just secured a $200,000 bitcoin payout—against all statistical logic. A probability of nearly 1 in 62,750, a reminder that the chain is still functioning flawlessly.
A solo miner solved the bitcoin block 960,804 via CKPool, winning 3.15689830 BTC (approximately $200,000), marking the 317th such feat.
With an estimated hashrate of 100 PH/s (0.011% of the network), their chance of success was only about 1 opportunity in 62,750 per day.
This reward comes amid the storm caused by the Coldcard failure, showing that the bitcoin network continues to work regardless of the security crises affecting wallets.
$200,000 in BTC for an almost impossible stroke of luck
Bitcoin block 960,804 was solved at 02:11 UTC this Monday, granting its discoverer a payout of 3.15689830 BTC that includes the fixed block subsidy of 3.125 BTC, supplemented with 0.032 BTC in fees derived from the 4,243 transactions included in the block. This is the 317th block found solo through CKPool, the service that lets anonymous miners try their luck without needing to run their own full node. The pool’s pseudonymous developer, known as Dr -ck, congratulated the winner on X, noting that their hashrate showed a “wildly variable… probably rented” profile, with a peak of 100 PH/s.
To gauge the scale of this lucky break, you have to look at Bitcoin network figures. With a global hashrate of 924 EH/s according to mempool.space, this peak represented only about 0.011% of the total computing power—meaning an opportunity to find a block roughly once every 64 days at this pace.

🤖 Bitcoin Miners Pivot to AI Amid Margin Squeeze
📉 More and more Bitcoin mining firms are shifting their strategy towards AI infrastructure and data centers, as mining margins shrink and the demand for computing power for AI continues to surge.
🖥️ Some companies are repurposing their energy facilities and data centers to host AI workloads, while others are even offloading a portion of their BTC reserves to fund the transition.
