An interesting phenomenon in the Bitcoin network this year — independent miners are actively participating in block production. According to relevant data, as of 2025, 36 blocks have been successfully mined by independent miners. What does this number represent? Each block corresponds to a reward of 3.125 BTC, indicating that these decentralized mining groups have already earned a considerable profit.

The ability of independent miners to achieve such results reflects that the Bitcoin mining ecosystem still maintains a relatively decentralized nature. In an environment dominated by large mining pools, the fact that so many independent miners can still mine blocks shows that individual miners still have room for survival and competitiveness. This distributed mining pattern is also a positive signal for the health of the Bitcoin network.

36 blocks? No way, why do I feel like that's a bit few... Large mining pools do suppress individual miners, but being able to mine independently also shows solid strength.

Small miners are really rising, this is the true 모습 of btc --- 36 blocks don't sound like much, but surviving under the siege of mining pools is already good --- Wait, independent miners can still earn this much? No wonder some people persist --- The feeling of decentralization is back, I kind of miss this atmosphere --- Mining pool monopoly really needs to be broken, small miners support the entire ecosystem --- Only 112.5 coins? Feels not as much as I imagined --- This is why I am optimistic about btc, it hasn't been completely eaten yet

36 blocks? That doesn't sound like much, but converted to BTC it definitely adds up... It's not easy for independent miners to survive. Is there still room for solo mining these days? Surprisingly so. Are we about to hear the story of BTC decentralization again? But the data does look good. Even under the monopoly of large mining pools, it's still possible like this, which shows that some people still have guts.
