• MARA Mining Company Allocates Bitcoin for Institutional Yield
• Two Prime partnership aims for efficiency with digital assets
• MARA uses BTC in managed derivatives strategy

MARA Holdings, the largest publicly traded bitcoin mining company in the United States, announced that it will allocate 500 BTC of its treasury for managed income strategies with Two Prime, an SEC-registered investment advisor. The move marks an expansion of the existing partnership between the companies and focuses on generating optimized returns with security and flexibility.

MARA currently holds more than 48 bitcoins on its balance sheet — the second-largest corporate hoard among public companies, behind only Strategy. The miner has revealed plans to raise up to $2 billion through a stock offering, aiming to expand its position in digital assets and diversify its sources of income.

According to Paul Giordano, MARA’s vice president of digital asset management, the move is aimed at improving the performance of the firm’s bitcoin capital. “We see this as a smart and thoughtful way to make our bitcoin assets more profitable for shareholders,” Giordano said. “By allocating a portion of our treasury to Two Prime strategies, we aim to enhance returns while maintaining the flexibility and security that remain core to our approach.”

Two Prime, on the other hand, has stood out by developing customized bitcoin derivatives strategies designed for institutional investors. According to the company, it has access to US$2,5 billion in capital and offers solutions focused on capital efficiency and transparency.

Alexander Blume, CEO of Two Prime, said the partnership represents a new level of institutional engagement. “MARA has one of the largest corporate bitcoin treasuries in the world and is setting the standard for how institutional holders can responsibly unlock value.”

Meanwhile, the price of bitcoin has risen by more than 11% this year, surpassing US$ 110.000 for the first time, even as MARA shares have fallen by around 8% over the same period.
