Home miners running small ASIC devices have found full Bitcoin blocks worth hundreds of thousands of dollars each. This page documents every confirmed solo block win from the open-source home mining era. All blocks listed here were verified on-chain via mempool.space or block explorers.

Note: This table focuses on wins from small-scale and home miners using Solo CKPool and Ocean Mining. Solo CKPool has facilitated 290+ solo block wins total [VERIFY], but many involve large-scale operations. We’re focusing on wins relevant to home miners using desktop hardware or modest rented hashpower. Additional wins from small miners may exist that aren’t yet documented here — if you know of one, contact us.
Total Value Won by Home Miners
Based on the confirmed wins above:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total blocks in database | 15 |
| Total BTC earned | ~47.26 BTC |
| Total USD value (at time of win) | ~$4,503,000 |
| Average reward per block | ~3.15 BTC |
| Average USD per win | ~$300,200 |
| Smallest winning hashrate | 480 GH/s (Bitaxe, Mar 10, 2026) |
Solo CKPool has paid out over 5,553 BTC total to all solo miners since its 2014 launch — a cumulative value exceeding $370 million at current prices [VERIFY].
Solo Satoshi, one of the largest Bitaxe retailers, reports over $1 million in documented customer block rewards as of early 2026.
The Hardware Behind the Wins
Three categories of hardware have confirmed solo block wins:
Bitaxe Family
The Bitaxe Ultra and Bitaxe Gamma 602 together account for at least three confirmed block wins — including the very first Bitaxe solo win in July 2026. The Gamma 602’s win at block #889,975 is the cleanest proof of concept: a single $100 device running at 1.2 TH/s found a full block against a network exceeding 800 EH/s.
Read the Bitaxe Gamma 602 Review
Compact open-source Bitcoin miner delivering 1.2 TH/s at low power. Proven solo mining capability with real block wins on record.
NerdQaxe++
The NerdQaxe++ Rev 6 scored its first block win on September 5, 2026, at block #913,272. Running at 4.8 TH/s through Ocean Mining’s DATUM protocol, it defied expected odds of over 4,000 years. The device’s 6 TH/s potential (when overclocked) gives it some of the best per-unit odds of any desktop solo miner.
High-performance desktop Bitcoin solo miner with 4.8–6 TH/s capability. First confirmed block win in September 2026 at 4.8 TH/s.
Stacked Clusters
The March 10, 2026 win came from a cluster of six Bitaxe devices. While the individual unit that found the winning hash was running at just 480 GH/s, the full cluster contributed 3.3 TH/s. This validates the stacking strategy: more devices running under the same wallet address equals linearly better odds.
Rented Hashpower
Several wins in late 2026 and early 2026 came from miners renting hashpower through NiceHash or AtlasPool and pointing it at Solo CKPool. These are legitimate solo wins — the renter keeps the full block reward (minus Solo CKPool’s 2% fee). That said, renting hundreds of petahashes is a different game from running a desktop miner. We include these wins for completeness but note them accordingly.
Leading hashpower marketplace for renting mining power. Several documented solo block wins came from miners using NiceHash to rent hash directed at Solo CKPool.
What This Means for Your Odds
Every entry in this table is a data point against the argument that solo mining “cannot work.” The math says a Bitaxe Gamma should take ~14,665 years to find a block. But math describes averages, not outcomes.
Someone has to be on the lucky tail of the distribution — and the record shows that someone regularly is.
Key takeaways from the data:
- Small devices can win. A 480 GH/s Bitaxe found a block. That’s less hashrate than a Lucky Miner LV08.
- Solo CKPool is the dominant venue. Nearly all documented small-miner wins happened through Solo CKPool.
- The wins keep coming. From 1 confirmed Bitaxe win in 2026 to 22+ solo blocks in 2026 and multiple already in 2026, the frequency is increasing as more home miners join the network.
- Block rewards vary slightly. Transaction fees add 0.02–0.05 BTC on top of the 3.125 BTC subsidy in most blocks, making each win worth slightly more than the base reward.

How to Get Listed Here
The criteria are straightforward:
- Mine solo — through Solo CKPool, Ocean Mining DATUM, or your own full node.
- Find a block — the Bitcoin network doesn’t care about your hardware. If your hash meets the difficulty target, you win.
- Share your story — post on Reddit, X (Twitter), the Solo CKPool Telegram, or contact us directly. We verify all wins against on-chain data before listing.
We track all verified solo block wins from home miners running desktop hardware or modest setups. If you hit a block with a Bitaxe, NerdQaxe, Lucky Miner, Avalon Nano, or any small-scale rig, we want to document it.
Stay Updated
Bookmark this page. We update it every time a new solo block is found by a home miner. The database will keep growing as long as the network keeps producing blocks — which is forever.
Secure Your Winnings
If you find a block worth $200,000+, you need self-custody immediately. Don’t leave 3.125 BTC on an exchange. Don’t leave it in a hot wallet on your phone.
