Yet 2025 has delivered a remarkable surprise. Five solo miners, operating outside massive mining pools, have each successfully mined a block and earned rewards exceeding $350,000 each. While these wins may be anomalies, they highlight the unpredictable yet democratic nature of Bitcoin, where even small-scale participants can occasionally outshine corporate giants. Read more

Before the acquisition, Strive was a relatively minor player in the Bitcoin treasury space, with just 70 BTC on its books. Read more
