A solo Bitcoin miner has achieved a remarkable feat by successfully mining block 928,985, earning a total reward of 3.128 BTC (Bitcoin), valued at approximately $281,000 at the time of discovery on December 22, 2025. 

This is considered the digital equivalent of winning a lottery due to the immense competition from large industrial mining pools that dominate the network's hash rate. A miner with this amount of processing power typically has a chance of finding a block only once every several hundred years on average.
