The Latest Bitcoin Solo Mining Blocks Found [Timeline]

Solo Mining is Alive. Here’s the Proof.

A lot of people ask the same question. Why bother solo mining? The odds are basically zero, right?

Except they’re not. Every month or so, some small miner, running something like a Bitaxe Gamma or a BitForge Nano, finds a block. And honestly, it’s happening more often than most people expect.

More solo and lottery mining pools keep popping up. More people are spinning up their own instances at home. And that matters, because every one of those setups is a small but real step toward decentralizing mining in a meaningful way.

So yeah, the odds are slim. But they’re not zero. And the movement keeps growing.

At DTV Electronics, we build sovereignty tools including the CmRat (an home server/bitcoin node), plus the Bitaxe home miner that’s become popular for solo mining. The excitement in the community whenever someone finds a solo block is incredible. Here’s a detailed look at the most recent solo blocks found in the Bitcoin network.

Understanding Solo Mining Success

Solo mining represents one of the most thrilling aspects of Bitcoin. Individual miners compete against massive mining operations, and occasionally, they get lucky. The odds are astronomical, but when it happens, the entire community celebrates.

2024

Block #853,742 — Bitaxe Supra

Date: July 24, 2024
Pool: Solo CKPool
Hashrate: 500 GH/s
Reward: 3.15 BTC
USD at time: $200K
Block: mempool.space/block/853742, mempool.guide/block/853742

First Bitaxe block ever.

The one that started it all. A single Bitaxe Supra, running at 500 GH/s, found a block on the Bitcoin network. Nobody really knew if it was possible. Then it happened. The community went completely wild, and for good reason. This proved that open-source home hardware could compete, even against the odds.

2025

Block #887,212 — Bitaxe Ultra

Date: March 10, 2025
Pool: Solo CKPool
Hashrate: 3.3 TH/s
Reward: 3.15 BTC
USD at time: $250K
Block: mempool.space/block/887212, mempool.guide/block/887212

Less than a year after the Supra, the Bitaxe Ultra hits. More hashrate, same philosophy. Open hardware, solo mining, no compromises. Another reminder that this isn’t a fluke.

Block #913,272 — NerdQAxe++

Date: September 5, 2025
Pool: Ocean Datum
Hashrate: 4.8 TH/s
Reward: 3.13 BTC
USD at time: $353K
Block: mempool.space/block/913272, mempool.guide/block/913272

First NerdQAxe++ block.

The NerdQAxe++ earns its place in history. Found via Ocean Datum, which adds another layer of sovereignty. Fully open-source hardware and software, self-custodied reward. This is what the whole thing is supposed to look like.

Block #913,593 — Avalon Mini 3

Date: September 7, 2025
Pool: Solo CKPool
Hashrate: ~37.2 TH/s
Block: mempool.space/block/913593, mempool.guide/block/913593

Two days after the NerdQAxe++ hit, the Avalon Mini 3 found one too. The hashrate matches the Mini 3 spec almost exactly at 37.5 TH/s. Worth noting: the Avalon runs closed-source software, which goes against the grain of everything else on this list. We’re including it anyway, because a small home miner finding a block is still a win for decentralization, regardless of firmware.

Block #920,440 — NerdQAxe++

Date: October 23, 2025
Pool: Public Pool (self-hosted on Umbrel)
Hashrate: 130 TH/s
Reward: 3.14 BTC
USD at time: $347K
Block: mempool.space/block/920440, mempool.guide/block/920440

This one stands out. The miner ran their own self-hosted Public Pool instance on Umbrel, which means fully sovereign from hardware to pool to payout. NerdQAxe++ Rev 6, open-source everything. The 130 TH/s hashrate suggests a small swarm rather than a single unit. Either way, this is the whole idea executed perfectly.

Block #924,569 — Bitaxe Gamma

Date: November 21, 2025
Pool: Solo CKPool
Hashrate: 5.4 TH/s
Reward: 3.08 BTC
USD at time: $266K
Block: mempool.space/block/924569, mempool.guide/block/924569

The Bitaxe Gamma, running at 5.4 TH/s, likely a swarm of 5 to 6 units. This was the 308th solo block via CKPool since 2014, and the first in three months. A long dry spell, ended by the most refined Bitaxe ever built. The odds were roughly one in 180 million. The miner had 0.0000007% of the total network hashrate. And they won.

Block #937,218 — Unknown (Self-Hosted)

Date: February 18, 2026
Pool: Public Pool (self-hosted on Umbrel)
Hashrate: Unknown
Hardware: Unknown
Block: mempool.space/block/937218, mempool.guide/block/937218

Another sovereign miner doing it the right way. They ran their own Public Pool instance on Umbrel, which means no hosted pool, no third party, just a miner and their own node. Hardware is unknown, but tracing the coinbase address shows the same miner had previously tried CKPool with a very small hashrate, probably a Bitaxe or a BitForge Nano. Whoever it was, they found a block on their own terms.

Block #938,713 — Unknown

Date: February 28, 2026
Pool: Parasite Pool
Hashrate: Under 10 TH/s
Hardware: Unknown
Block: mempool.space/block/938713, mempool.guide/block/938713

Parasite Pool’s first ever solo block, and it caused quite a stir. The community reaction was loud. Checking the coinbase address on the Parasite Pool dashboard points to a miner with under 10 TH/s, which is tiny. The hybrid reward model meant the finder took home 1 BTC, with the rest distributed to pool participants. A milestone for the pool, and another proof point that small miners can still get lucky.

2026

Block #943,466 — NerdOctaxe

Date: April 3, 2026
Pool: Public Pool
Hashrate: 9.6 TH/s
Reward: 3.15 BTC
USD at time: $210K
Block: mempool.space/block/943466, mempool.guide/block/943466

First NerdOctaxe block.

The NerdOctaxe gets its first block. Eight ASICs on one board, all open-source, and it finds a block on its very first run in this list. Via Public Pool, no custodian, no middleman. A clean debut.

Block #944,078 — NerdQAxe++

Date: April 7, 2026
Pool: Noderunners
Hashrate: 4.8 TH/s
Reward: 3.13 BTC
USD at time: $210K
Block: mempool.space/block/944078, mempool.guide/block/944078

Four days after the NerdOctaxe. The NerdQAxe++ finds another one, this time via Noderunners pool. Same hardware, different pool. The consistency of this device at 4.8 TH/s is remarkable at this point.

Block #945,601 — NerdQAxe++

Date: April 18, 2026
Pool: Parasite Pool
Hashrate: 4.8 TH/s
Reward: 3.13 BTC
USD at time: $240K
Block: mempool.space/block/945601, mempool.guide/block/945601

The most recent block on this list, and it comes from Parasite Pool. A hybrid model worth explaining: the miner who finds the block takes home 1 BTC guaranteed, while the rest of the reward gets split across all pool participants by hashrate. So nobody walks away empty-handed. Small miners get a steady drip of sats just for participating, and the finder still wins big. It’s a clever design.

Why Solo Mining Matters

These solo blocks demonstrate something important about Bitcoin. Small operators can still participate meaningfully. The network remains accessible despite growing difficulty and corporate mining operations.

Solo mining isn’t about guaranteed returns. It’s about participation, learning, and occasionally, hitting a block. Each block found by a home miner proves the network’s decentralized nature still holds.

Looking Forward

Solo mining continues evolving. New hardware comes out regularly. Software improves constantly. The Bitaxe series has made home mining more accessible than ever.

DTV Electronics remains committed to building tools that empower individual miners. Whether you’re running a Bitcoin node or a solo miner, you’re participating in Bitcoin’s fundamental promise: financial sovereignty for everyone.

The next solo block could come from anywhere. Maybe from someone reading this right now. That’s the beauty of Bitcoin mining. The lottery never closes, and everyone holds a ticket.
