Odaily News Two independent miners each produced a Bitcoin block this week, receiving the full block reward worth approximately $300,000. One miner produced a block early Thursday and received 3.157 BTC, including transaction fees, while the other miner received a reward worth about $295,000 earlier in the week. The Bitcoin mining market is currently dominated by large mining pools such as Foundry USA, AntPool, and F2Pool, making it relatively rare for independent miners to produce blocks. Recently, the market share of U.S. mining has declined, with some listed mining companies shifting their hash rate towards AI and high-performance computing. (Coindesk)
