PANews reported on May 23 that according to Mempool data, at 11:59:47 Beijing time, Bitcoin miners mined an empty block at Bitcoin height 844689 (i.e., the block only contained a single Coinbase transaction for the block reward), with only a 12-second interval from the previous block height.

It is reported that miners package empty blocks for economic benefits. To fully utilize this time for mining and avoid conflicts with transactions packaged in the parent block, miners cannot fill the block with transactions, meaning they can only attempt to mine empty blocks.
