A rare two-block reorganization occurred on the Bitcoin network, with Foundry USA mining seven blocks in a row, effectively ending the competition!

Last night, the Bitcoin network split at block height 941880, with Foundry USA emerging victorious by mining three consecutive blocks, making AntPool and ViaBTC's blocks orphaned, which is a rare practical exercise of Bitcoin's consensus mechanism.

Summary

Last night, the Bitcoin network split in two at block height 941880: AntPool and ViaBTC occupied one chain, while Foundry USA opened its own separate chain, and the two sides remained deadlocked for a full block cycle.

Ultimately, Foundry USA mined blocks 883, 884, and 885 in succession, winning decisively based on the "longest chain" principle—all of AntPool and ViaBTC's blocks became invalid and became orphan blocks.

This is neither an attack nor a malfunction, but simply a rare practical exercise of the Bitcoin consensus mechanism.
