Overview
- MARA disclosed in a March 2 Form 10‑K that its 2026 strategy permits sales of Bitcoin held on its balance sheet, expanding beyond prior sales limited to new production.
- In the second half of 2025 the miner sold about 4,076 BTC for $413.1 million to fund operations and ended the year holding roughly 53,822 BTC.
- About 28% of MARA’s Bitcoin was already deployed in lending, trading, or as collateral, generating $32.1 million in interest income, according to the filing.
- Shares fell roughly 8.4% on March 3 after the policy change and an earlier earnings miss, reflecting concern about potential future monetization of reserves.
- Management framed any sales as dependent on capital priorities and market conditions, while analysts cautioned that price impact hinges on observable wallet outflows and noted similar monetization plans at peer Core Scientific.
