Two solo mining operations each won more than 3.1 BTC on Saturday, November 7, less than seven hours apart. At the current price, each reward represents approximately 213,000 euros. Behind this rare double are an NFT project and a miner with much more modest computing power.
The first success occurs at 4:51 a.m. (UTC), with the validation of block 974,893. It is claimed by Okay Bears, a collection of NFTs using CKPool Solo, a service allowing mining without sharing the reward with other users.
The block yields 3.1335 BTC, or approximately 212,800 euros. This sum includes 3.125 newly created BTC and 0.0085 BTC in fees paid on the 3,955 recorded transactions. Okay Bears announces that it wants to redistribute this gain to holders who have placed their NFTs in staking, that is to say immobilized in its program.
According to the head of CKPool, the operation had a hashrate (computing power devoted to mining) of around 581 TH/s. For comparison, the Bitcoin network has a total power close to 1,002 EH/s, approximately 1.7 million times greater.
At 11:41 a.m. (UTC), another CKPool Solo user validates block 974,930 and wins 3.1427 BTC, or approximately 213,400 euros. Its computing power would only reach 86.9 TH/s. At this level, according to the head of CKPool, its chances of finding a block over a year are approximately one in 233.
The two operations thus total 6.2762 BTC, or nearly 426,200 euros, based on a Bitcoin price of 75,824 dollars.
Rather than relying on the luck of solo mining, you can buy Bitcoin directly on an exchange.
Most miners join mining pools, which pool their computing power to share rewards. In solo, everyone keeps almost all of the gain when they find a block, but can wait years without success. The Bitcoin network produces on average one block every ten minutes, or around 52,560 per year.

These two discoveries come as the mining difficulty, which adjusts the amount of calculation necessary to find a block, reached 148.4 T. It remains lower than its record of nearly 156 T, established at the end of October 2025, despite several recent increases.
