The Bitcoin network has been running for 5,012 days and has mined over 755,000 blocks to date. During the last year, Foundry USA and Antpool were the top two miners, mining a total of 18,229 blocks out of the 53,510 blocks mined this year; Foundry is the top this year, but historical statistics show that this pool is the 15th largest, with 755.000 blocks discovered, 000+ blocks, of which only 1.55% have been discovered.

Over the past 13 years, unknown hash rates have discovered the majority of bitcoin blocks

In the past 3 days, 11 different known mining pools have dedicated hashrates to the Bitcoin (BTC) network. Additionally, in the past 12 months, 27 different known mining pools have minedBTC; BTCand historical statistics show that approximately 98 pools have minedBTCin the past 13 years.

Unknown hashrates, known as stealth miners, captured only 1.78% of blocks discovered in the past year. With known mining pools being a prominent force in the bitcoin world, Unknown Hashrate has managed to collect 954 blocks in 12 months.

But that has not always been the case, and stealth miners, including Satoshi Nakamoto, remain the ultimate winners of the mostblocks, BTC blocks discovered in history. Data shows that of the 755,432 blocks mined in the last 13 years, unknown hashrates account for 29.90% of the global hashrate.
