Full throttle
And somewhere else in the institutional crypto jungle, a fresh wallet named “bc1qr” just swallowed 500 BTC worth nearly $56 million from BitGo.
Mara's ( @MARA ) wallet, "3MYao," bought 400 $BTC worth $46.29M from #FalconX , 2 hours ago.
Additionally, a newly created wallet, "bc1qr," received 500 $BTC worth $55.9M from #BitGo .

Of course, this isn’t MARA’s doing, but the timing screams big players on the move, highlighting a bustling scene of colossal Bitcoin shifts among corporate giants.
August 2025 wasn’t just about buying. MARA was busy mining 705 BTC, averaging 22.7 coins daily, even as Bitcoin’s price took a 6% dip that month.
CEO Fred Thiel calmly pointed out that snatching more Bitcoin amid market dips is strategic accumulation, not a gamble.
Their mining power ramped up 1% to a mighty 59.4 EH/s thanks to their Texas wind farm hitting full throttle, promising more efficient mining as they aim for full deployment by end of the quarter.
International growth
But MARA isn’t hitching its wagon to just Bitcoin mining. The firm inked a $168 million deal for majority control, 64% for starters, of Exaion, a French AI and computing company.
They plan to push that to 75% by 2027, weaving AI deeper into their digital infrastructure.
Their new European headquarters in Paris will become a strategic base to speed international growth and crop up AI-powered cost savings using Exaion’s computing magic.
Long game
Bitcoin today sits right around $115K , after a few percent growth in the last day.
The week, on the other hand, tells a more sobering story with a 6.94% drop, reminding traders that crypto volatility never sleeps.
MARA’s stock is on a healthy climb, up nearly 15% this last month, and analysts say this is a clear sign that investors are buying into their long game.
As institutional adoption swells, MARA’s big bets on Bitcoin and AI make it clear, they’re playing for keeps.
