Has Bitaxe Found a Block? Next Block is Closer Than You Think!

Short Answer: Yes! As of July 2025, at least two confirmed Bitcoin blocks have been mined using Bitaxe hardware. This article provides a high-level overview of those Bitaxe block finds, with exact dates, block numbers, and the associated mining pools, along with what they mean for the future of Bitcoin home mining. Read on to learn how Bitaxe miners defied the odds, why a third block find in 2025 may be closer than you think, and how you can join this decentralizing trend.

Bitaxe’s First Solo Bitcoin Block – July 24, 2024 (Block #853,742)

The Bitaxe community’s first taste of victory came in mid-2024. On July 24, 2024, a solo miner running a Bitaxe device around ~500 GH/s (gigahashes per second), rumored to be a Bitaxe Supra, stunned the Bitcoin world by mining Bitcoin block #853,742 via Solo CKPool. This was the first-ever Bitcoin block mined by a Bitaxe home miner, a milestone widely celebrated by enthusiasts. Bitcoin mining retailer Solo Satoshi announced the news on social media: “A 500GH/s Bitaxe is rumored to have just hit a block in CK Pool.”

The block was mined at roughly 11:43 AM UTC and yielded the solo miner the full block reward, at that time 3.125 BTC plus 0.025 BTC in transaction fees for a total of ~3.12 BTC earned. With Bitcoin’s price around that date, the payout was worth over $200,000! Not bad for a $130 home miner! This Bitaxe-powered victory proved that ordinary individuals could still participate in Bitcoin’s proof-of-work and occasionally win, despite the immense network difficulty.

How extraordinary was this win? Consider that the total Bitcoin network hash rate in mid-2024 was on the order of 10^20 hashes per second, whereas a Bitaxe’s hashrate is on the order of 10^8–10^9. In other words, the Bitaxe made up roughly 1 in a billion of total mining power at the time; roughly a 1 in 1.1 billion chance of solving a given block.

Analogy: it’s like one tiny ticket among a billion in a raffle drum. Statistically, a single Bitaxe miner might expect to solve a block only once in many centuries (if ever). Yet it happened in July 2024, underscoring the lottery-like nature of solo mining. The news sent a wave of excitement through the Bitcoin forums: the era of home miners finding blocks was no longer just theoretical.

Second Bitaxe Block Find – March 10, 2025 (Block #887,212)

Lightning struck again in early 2025. On March 10, 2025, another solo miner using Bitaxe hardware managed to solve Bitcoin block #887,212 on the network, once more via Solo CKPool. This time, a Bitaxe Ultra with an aggregate hash power of only around 480 GH/s, yet it successfully found the winning hash for the block. The block was timestamped at 7:22 pm UTC on March 10 and awarded the fortunate miner 3.125 BTC + ~0.025 BTC in fees = 3.15 BTC; about $250k at the time.

What makes this second Bitaxe win especially interesting is the mining setup used. According to reports, the individual was actually running a cluster of six Bitaxe devices, with a combined hashrate of 3.3 TH/s (terrahashes per second) total. This DIY mini-mining farm included at least one Bitaxe Ultra model as part of the setup. Essentially, the miner increased their lottery “ticket count” by operating multiple Bitaxes simultaneously, and it paid off. As CKPool’s admin Con Kolivas noted, “Total hashpower is what matters for your odds; running more devices linearly increases your chances.” Still, even with ~3.3 TH/s, the odds remained extreme. Kolivas estimated this miner’s chance was “less than 1 in a million” per day, meaning around 3,500 years on average to find a block. Yet on March 10, it happened, proving the first Bitaxe block was no fluke. Try our new Solo Mining Calculator to see your odds!

Why a Third Bitaxe Block Is Imminent

Only two Bitaxe mined blocks are officially confirmed so far: block 853 742 on July 24, 2024, and block 887 212 on March 10, 2025. Yet with more than 50, 000 Bitaxe units hashing globally today, the community of home miners is larger than ever. Every ten‑minute Bitcoin block offers another chance, and statistically a third Bitaxe jackpot could land any day now. For newcomers this looming milestone is exciting proof that Bitcoin home mining continues to gain momentum. When the third Bitaxe block arrives, it will

1. Validate decentralization at scale. Success by thousands of open source miners prove the network remains open to individuals.
2. Inspire first‑time miners. A small hand‑sized device winning a block shows anyone can make history.
3. Announce a new era of DIY hashing. Each Bitaxe victory motivates more enthusiasts to plug in additional units, multiplying the collective odds.
