Miner Revenue (Total)

What Is This Chart Showing?

Bitcoin miners currently generate revenue from two sources:

1. Transaction fees
2. Mining rewards

This chart combines both of those sources of revenue to show the total revenue earned by bitcoin miners over time.

Fees are earned when a miner successfully validates a block. The miner earns all the transaction fees from the transactions in that block.

The miner then also receives a mining reward of newly minted bitcoins.
