According to CoinDesk, AntPool mined Bitcoin block 974961 last Saturday, which included 11,255 transactions. Per mempool.space data, this number is 984 transactions short of the network record of 12,239 set by F2Pool’s block 367853 on August 1, 2015, making it the second-highest transaction count block in Bitcoin’s recorded history. The transactions collectively generated 240,533 satoshis in fees. At Sunday’s Bitcoin price of roughly $75,800, that amounts to around $180. AntPool’s total revenue from the block was approximately $237,000, almost entirely from the fixed 3.125 BTC block subsidy. mempool.space rounded the block’s median fee rate to 0. CoinDesk sampling revealed a batch of ~80-byte transactions in the block’s middle, each paying just 1 satoshi in fees—below Bitcoin Core 29.1’s default relay threshold of 0.1 satoshi per virtual byte. This threshold is a node policy, not a consensus rule, so blocks including lower-fee transactions remain valid. On November 4, AntPool’s block 974557 also included 10,573 transactions, with fees totaling around $110. The 2015 record block paid 0.22582926 BTC in fees, 94 times the current amount. At the time, Bitcoin traded at roughly $285, so fees were about $64, while the 25 BTC block subsidy was around $7,100. Bitcoin’s block subsidy is scheduled to halve to 1.5625 BTC around April 2028 at block 1,050,000. CoinDesk noted that this block’s fees account for less than 0.2% of the subsidy reduction miners will face after the halving.

Goldman Sachs CEO Solomon said he is optimistic that the U.S. will continue to attract significant investment in data centers and computing power capacity.
