NiceHash confirmed on July 07, 2026 that its EasyMining solo mining service has mined 200 Bitcoin blocks since October 2022, verified through on-chain coinbase signature data. The milestone reflects the growth of NiceHash's hashrate marketplace, which has operated since 2014. The 200 blocks generated a combined total of 1,168 BTC in rewards, consisting of 1,103 BTC from block subsidies and approximately 65 BTC from transaction fees. The first confirmed block was mined on October 20, 2022 at block height 759,475, and the 200th block was mined on July 1, 2026 at block height 956,165. NiceHash, headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, positions itself as a marketplace built around verifiable, on-chain outcomes rather than marketing claims.
NiceHash Confirms 200 Solo Bitcoin Blocks Mined Since October 2022
NiceHash's EasyMining solo mining service reached 200 confirmed Bitcoin blocks mined since October 2022. The 200 blocks are independently verifiable on the Bitcoin blockchain. Every block is confirmed through coinbase signature data recorded on-chain. The first block was mined on October 20, 2022 at block height 759,475. The 200th block was mined on July 1, 2026 at block height 956,165. The combined rewards from the 200 blocks total 1,168 BTC. Of that total, 1,103 BTC came from block subsidies and approximately 65 BTC came from transaction fees accumulated across the period. EasyMining gives individual miners a direct path to a full block reward without operating pool-scale infrastructure themselves. The service sits at one end of a larger marketplace where publicly traded mining companies, funds, and treasuries transact in hashrate as a commodity.
NiceHash Marketplace Operates on Live Pricing Model
NiceHash's marketplace model routes hashrate to wherever demand and pricing are strongest at any given moment. The platform differs from the dominant FPPS (Full Pay Per Share) model used by major mining pools, where miners receive a fixed rate per share submitted regardless of block outcomes or broader market conditions. NiceHash's marketplace pricing reflects live supply and demand rather than fixed rates set in advance. The marketplace connects buyers and sellers of computing power for cryptocurrency mining. Buyers acquire hashrate directly on NiceHash, gaining mining output without owning hardware, securing power contracts, or operating facilities themselves. The platform supports transactions ranging from individual miner packages to institutional-scale acquisition. Both sides transact on the same underlying market, priced by the same live supply and demand.
NiceHash Offers Institutional Hashrate Tools Including OTC and Virgin Bitcoin
NiceHash provides OTC (over-the-counter) arrangements, allowing miners and buyers to transact larger volumes of hashrate directly outside the standard live-pricing flow. Both OTC and standard marketplace transactions can be settled in USDT alongside BTC. The platform offers access to Virgin Bitcoin, which is freshly mined BTC with no prior transaction history. Virgin Bitcoin has never passed through another wallet or exchange and carries no transaction history. It is available directly through the marketplace and via OTC arrangements for larger volumes. For institutional buyers, hashrate purchased on the spot market can bridge the gap between ordering ASICs and their actual deployment, allow scaling during a short-term profitability window without long-term hardware exposure, and cover planned or unplanned facility outages without breaching hosting or co-location uptime obligations. One common institutional use case on the platform functions as insurance: when a farm falls short of a contractual uptime commitment, operators buy hashrate on the spot market to cover the gap rather than absorb the penalty.
NiceHash CEO Comments on Hashrate as Commodity
Saša Čoh, CEO of NiceHash, stated: "Hashrate behaves like a commodity, and the market increasingly treats it that way. The EasyMining milestone and the growth of our marketplace tools point to the same thing: we build for outcomes that can be verified on-chain and infrastructure that holds up under real institutional scrutiny, not just claims." NiceHash was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland. The platform connects buyers and sellers of computing power for cryptocurrency mining and related services.
