Solo mining sounds empowering. No pools. No middlemen. Just you, your machine, and the chance to earn a full bitcoin block reward.
But is it profitable? Is it even practical?
In this post, we’ll explore the economics of solo mining in 2025, why it’s harder than ever, and why sophisticated investors are turning to hosted mining for hands-off, tax-advantaged bitcoin income.
What Is Solo Bitcoin Mining?
Solo mining means operating a bitcoin mining machine independently, without joining a mining pool. If your machine solves a block, you receive the entire block reward (currently 3.125 BTC + transaction fees).
It’s Bitcoin in its purest form.
But it’s also brutally competitive.
The Odds: Why Solo Mining Is a Lottery in 2025
Let’s look at the math:
- The global Bitcoin network hash rate is over 800 EH/s (800 million TH/s).
- A modern ASIC like the S21 XP generates ~270 TH/s.
That means a single miner controls 0.00003% of the network hash rate.
Your odds of finding a block as a solo miner?
???? Less than 1 in 22,000 per day. Put another way, it would likely take 60 years to mine one block.
Even if you ran 10 ASICs at home, you could still go years without hitting a block.
But What If You Do Find a Block?
Yes—some solo miners have pulled it off.
In early 2024, a solo Bitaxe miner hit a full block and earned 3.125 BTC (~$210,000 at the time).
Hosted Mining: The Investor’s Alternative to Solo Risk
So if solo mining is too risky, what’s the alternative?
✅ Hosted mining—where you own the ASIC but professionals run it for you.
At Abundant Mines, we help high-net-worth individuals accumulate bitcoin through managed mining infrastructure:
- We source and deploy the latest-generation ASICs
- Host them in a secure, climate-optimized U.S. facility
- Provide fixed-rate, renewable hydroelectric power
- Monitor and maintain your machines 24/7
- You keep full ownership—and collect BTC payouts daily
But Isn’t Pool Mining “Less Pure”?
Some say yes. But let’s be honest—this is about outcomes, not ideology.
You still:
- Own the ASIC
- Earn daily BTC
- Avoid KYC if you mine to your cold wallet
- Accumulate bitcoin at below-market cost
Mining pools simply smooth volatility by paying members proportionally, not randomly.
What Kind of Investor Does Hosted Mining Best Serve?
Hosted mining is ideal for:
- Entrepreneurs & business owners with capital
- Family offices seeking uncorrelated cash flow
- Investors looking to offset tax burdens via hardware depreciation
At scale, mining isn’t a side project—it’s a strategic asset.
