- Aka Block Miner Reward or Stake Reward
- The amount that miners (in PoW) or stakers (in PoS) may claim as a reward for creating a block. Equal to the sum of the block subsidy (newly available satoshis) plus the transactions fees paid by transactions included in the block.
- The Block reward itself should not to be confused with Block subsidies or transaction fees.
- From this Bitcoin.com article (10-12-2019):
"Miners have foregone their coinbase rewards at various block heights, with the most generous being 12.5 unclaimed BTC (the full block reward) at 501,726. Another miner tipped half of his reward, a sum totalling 6.25 BTC, in Satoshi’s direction at block height 526,591. The most intense patterns of such behavior occurred at heights 162,000, 180,000-230,000 and 530,000, with over 1,200 anomalies recorded."
