Bitcoin miners are experiencing increased profitability following a 4% drop in the network's hash rate, marking the largest decline since April 2025. On December 19, a solo miner successfully earned 3.152 BTC, valued at $271,000, by utilizing $100 worth of NiceHash power. Similarly, another miner mined block 928985 on December 23, securing 3.12 BTC, equivalent to $281,000. The reduced hash rate has enhanced the success rates for solo miners, potentially sustaining this profitable trend if the hash rate remains low.
