BITCOIN MINER REVENUE
How much do miners get paid?
What everyone mining Bitcoin earned in a day, and how little of it comes from fees.
What everyone mining Bitcoin earned, each day. New coins plus the fees people paid to send Bitcoin, on a scale that rises by powers of ten so the early years stay visible.

How much did mining pay?
$37.4 millionEveryone mining Bitcoin earned $37.4 million between them on Aug 31, 2026.
That was 152 blocks, so about $245,930 for each one.
Where does that money come from?

That is the part which halves every four years and eventually stops, so fees have to grow into the gap at some point. Today they are a rounding error next to the new coins, and that is the single most important open question about how Bitcoin pays for its own security.
Is the pay going up or down?

What is the most it has ever paid?
$107.7 million, on Apr 20, 2024. That was the day of the last halving, when a rush to use the chain sent fees far above anything before or since. It is the one day that shows what a fee-funded Bitcoin could look like.
What does this mean for you?
This is the budget that pays for Bitcoin’s security. Miners spend it on machines and electricity, and the work they do is what makes the chain expensive to attack. A bigger budget means a better-defended network.
It is not profit. Nothing here subtracts what miners paid for power or hardware, so a record-breaking day of revenue can still be a losing one. It is the money coming in, not the money left over.
Understanding Bitcoin Miner Revenue
Where it stands today
Bitcoin Miner Revenue is $37.4 M paid to miners in a day as of .
Miners are paid twice for every block they produce. First in brand new coins, which the rules create out of nothing and hand to whoever found the block. Second in fees, paid by the people whose transactions went into it. Added up across a day, those two together are what the whole mining industry earned.
The split is lopsided, and that is the point of this page. Almost all of a miner's pay is still new coins. Fees are a rounding error beside them on an ordinary day, and only on the busiest days in Bitcoin's history have they been anything else.
The new-coin half is on a countdown. It halves roughly every four years and eventually rounds away to nothing, which is fixed and cannot be voted on. Fees are what has to grow into that gap, and whether they do is the longest-running open question about how Bitcoin pays for its own defence.
Two things this is not. It is not profit: nothing here subtracts the cost of machines or electricity, so a record day of revenue can still lose money. And it is not one company's income, it is the whole industry's, split among every miner in the world by how much work each one did.
