MARA Announces Bitcoin Production and Mining Operation Updates for February 2025

BTC Production Per Day Increased 4% M/M

206 Blocks Won in February, 6% Decrease M/M

Increased BTC Holdings* to 46,374 BTC

Fort Lauderdale, FL, March 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: ) ("MARA" or the "Company"), a global leader in leveraging digital asset compute to support the energy transformation, today published unaudited bitcoin ("bitcoin" or "BTC") production updates for February 2025.

Management Commentary

"In February, our bitcoin production per day increased 4% over January," said Fred Thiel, MARA's chairman and CEO. "Blocks won and bitcoin production decreased by 6% month-over-month, primarily due to a higher network difficulty level and three fewer operational days. Our energized hashrate was slightly above the prior month, and we are close to finishing construction of a 40-megawatt data center in Ohio where we plan to install over ten thousand S21 Pro immersion miners.

"We established the Company's leadership in bitcoin mining through an asset-light model, transformed it into a vertically integrated energy and infrastructure company in 2024, and in 2025, we will continue to focus on being the dominant player in bitcoin mining while expanding our footprint in energy generation.

"In conjunction with our emerging technology business, we are taking steps today, including investing in research and development, to establish our presence in AI and adjacent markets, which we expect will create additional revenue opportunities over the long term. We expect our costs to decline as we realize savings from owning our sites and generating our own power, and we will be laser-focused on efficiency as we drive towards our goal of low-cost energy.”
