OCEAN mined 120 of the 168 blocks, or 71.4% of the small/solo pool category. Unknown miners added 46 blocks, or 27.4%. Solo CK and Mining-Dutch each found 1 block. The headline is not just OCEAN's growth. It is that non-mega-pool block production is now material enough to track every month.

Small & solo mining pools just had their strongest month ever! In June 2026 they mined 168 Bitcoin blocks, up from 133 in May and 90 in June 2025. That is roughly 3.8% of monthly block production. The long-term trend is clear: smaller and independent pools are becoming a visible part of Bitcoin mining again.
