Back-to-back wins on October 26 and 27 each paid out roughly 3.1 BTC, with no pool taking a cut Two anonymous solo Bitcoin miners each found a block on back-to-back days in late October. Each walked away with the full 3.125 BTC block subsidy plus transaction fees. The first win came on October 26, 2026, with block #973,262. The miner behind it was running FutureBit Apollo Solo. That block paid out approximately 3.154 BTC. Most of that is the fixed 3.125 BTC subsidy, and transaction fees supplied the rest. The next day, October 27, a second solo miner landed block #973,413 through CKPool Solo. That reward came in at around 3.14 BTC. At prevailing prices, each payout works out to approximately $253,000 to $255,000.
