  • MARA raised its Bitcoin holdings to 53,250 BTC after buying 400 BTC worth $46.31 million this week.
  • MARA posted $238 million in Q2 revenue, marking a 64% increase compared to last year.
  • MARA is expanding into AI and energy tech through deals with TAE Power Solutions and PADO AI.

Marathon Digital Holding (MARA) has expanded its stock of Bitcoin to 53,250 BTC. On Monday, the company purchased 400 BTC via FalconX, a trading platform for digital assets. The new purchase is valued at approximately $46.31 million.

According to Lookonchain, Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings, which currently holds 52,850 BTC valued at approximately $6.12 billion, purchased an additional 400 BTC—worth around $46.31 million—through institutional trading platform FalconX two hours ago.…

Data from Arkham confirms the acquisition, placing MARA as the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder globally. MARA’s assets were 49,951 BTC by the end of June, which is a 170% increase compared to the year before. By that point, its Bitcoin holdings were worth up to $5.3 billion. The new entry increased the valuation to $6.12 billion.

Strong Quarterly Performance

MARA recorded a second-quarter 2025 revenue of $238 million. This amount exceeded Wall Street expectations, and it was a 64% improvement over the same period of time last year. The performance of the company supports its increasing power within the Bitcoin mining industry.

The firm, previously known as Marathon Digital Holdings, has shifted its strategy in recent quarters. It is no longer focused solely on mining. Instead, it is positioning itself as a diversified digital infrastructure company.

Despite the strong quarterly results, MARA’s stock faced market pressure. On October 10, shares fell 9.33% due to uncertain sentiment surrounding options. The stock later regained 2.66%, trading at $19.13, based on Yahoo Finance data.

Broader Business Expansion

MARA is extending beyond Bitcoin mining. The company announced partnerships with TAE Power Solutions and PADO AI. Google and LG support these companies, respectively. The partnerships will focus on developing energy-efficient artificial intelligence and next-generation data centers. Last year, MARA announced its plan to issue US$700 million in convertible senior notes through private offerings.

MARA continues to scale its operations. By 2025, the company seeks to attain a mining capacity of 75 EH/s. This expansion includes the vertically integrated activities and global partnership. It also involves investment in digital infrastructure related to AI.

These moves suggest a clear shift toward technology integration and energy optimization. The approach aligns with MARA’s long-term goals and operational flexibility.

Market Response and Sentiment

Even though the revenue and BTC holdings are increasing, investor sentiment is ambivalent. The recent decline in share price indicates that the crypto market is volatile. Market reactions have shown sensitivity to speculative trends despite strong financial performance. Michael Saylor proposed that MARA could be the next digital currency firm to be included in the Nasdaq 100 index.

Analysts attribute the downturn to unclear positions in options markets. This sentiment has partially overshadowed MARA’s strategic achievements. Nonetheless, the company continues to build its presence in both crypto and tech infrastructure.

MARA’s latest BTC acquisition and partnerships point to an ongoing strategy of growth and diversification.
