Two independent miners produced blocks this week and received rewards of about $300,000

Two independent miners mined Bitcoin blocks this week, each receiving a full block reward worth approximately $300,000. One miner produced a block earlier on Thursday and received 3.157 Bitcoins, including transaction fees, while the other miner received a reward worth about $295,000 earlier this week. Currently, the Bitcoin mining market is dominated by large mining pools such as Foundry USA, AntPool, and F2Pool, making it less likely for independent miners to produce blocks. Recently, the market share of the U.S. mining sector has declined, and some publicly listed mining companies have shifted their computing power towards AI and high-performance computing.
