Bitcoin Mining Pool Braiins Reaches 1,000 Daily Payouts on Lightning Network

Bitcoin mining pool Braiins has achieved a significant milestone by processing over 1,000 daily payouts on the Lightning Network. Since introducing Lightning payouts in February 2024 through a partnership with Voltage, Braiins has seen consistent double-digit monthly growth, averaging nearly 20% month-over-month from mid-2024 into early 2025. The milestone enables miners—especially small and medium-sized operators—to receive instant, low-cost payments without relying on slower on-chain settlement. CEOs Eli Nagar (Braiins) and Graham Krizek (Voltage) emphasized the real-world benefits: reduced congestion, lower fees, and faster settlement for the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.
