A very lucky person just turned $86 into 3.12 BTC.
A solo miner rented less than $100 worth of hashpower via a mining for rent platform and successfully found a Bitcoin block worth about $271,000.
The key to this windfall was successfully mining Bitcoin block number 928,351, which was confirmed on the blockchain on December 18, 2025, at around 2:51 AM UTC. This block carried a base reward of about 3.125 BTC (following the 2024 Bitcoin halving event, which reduced mining subsidies), plus additional transaction fees that pushed the total payout slightly higher. The block’s hash is 0000000000000000000039a7a8d1b6b3b4f1e8e4f868c4, and it processed over 2,800 transactions, highlighting the ongoing activity on the Bitcoin network despite its immense scale.

I wouldn’t recommend you trying this though, as you probably will have better odds buying lottery tickets. Was cool and awesome to see nonetheless.
