June 24, 2026 at 09:42 PM UTC

Block 955234 was mined by an unknown entity — likely a solo miner rather than a large mining pool — which is a rare feat given how competitive Bitcoin mining has become. They filled the block almost completely to its weight limit, squeezing in 5,511 transactions. Curiously, the total fees collected round down to zero BTC, making this an unusual block to study.
