Two Solo Bitcoin (BTC) Miners Win Blocks This Week, Earning About $300,000 Each — What It Means for BTC Block Rewards and Miner Revenue
According to @CoinMarketCap, two solo Bitcoin miners each solved a block this week—one on Tuesday and one on Thursday—earning around 300,000 dollars apiece in block rewards. source: @CoinMarketCap on X, Jan 16, 2026 The block reward is composed of the 3.125 BTC subsidy plus transaction fees as defined by the Bitcoin protocol, so payouts of this size are consistent with protocol rules and prevailing fees and prices at the time of mining. source: Bitcoin.org Developer Guide; Bitcoin Wiki (Controlled supply, Transaction fees) This underscores that solo mining wins are statistically rare and high-variance compared with pooled mining, which is why most miners use pools to smooth revenue. source: Bitcoin Wiki (Solo mining; Mining pool) For traders, these isolated wins do not change Bitcoin’s fixed issuance schedule or network difficulty, meaning broader BTC supply dynamics remain unaffected by individual solo finds. source: Bitcoin Wiki (Controlled supply; Difficulty) (Source) 01-16-2026 09:44 |

Bank of America CEO warns interest-bearing stablecoins could drain $6 trillion from bank deposits and lift borrowing costs
According to the source, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said interest-bearing stablecoins could siphon 6 trillion dollars from traditional bank deposits, which he argues would raise bank funding costs and increase borrowing rates for small businesses that rely on bank lending, source: Brian Moynihan, Bank of America CEO, Jan 16, 2026. For traders, the statement highlights that yield-paying stablecoin structures could become more competitive versus bank deposits, potentially redirecting cash toward on-chain dollar instruments and increasing stablecoin liquidity across exchanges and DeFi, which can affect trading depth and spreads, source: Brian Moynihan, Bank of America CEO, Jan 16, 2026. Equity and credit investors may need to reassess deposit sensitivity and net interest margin risk for banks if deposit migration to interest-bearing stablecoins develops along the lines Moynihan outlined, which would align with his warning about higher borrowing costs, source: Brian Moynihan, Bank of America CEO, Jan 16, 2026. Key watch items for positioning include bank deposit flows, small business lending rates, and any policy signals that address interest-bearing stablecoins specifically, since Moynihan identified the interest component as the catalyst for large-scale deposit outflows, source: Brian Moynihan, Bank of America CEO, Jan 16, 2026.
