Bitcoin Holdings and Production
As of August 31, 2025, MARA's BTC holdings increased to 52,477 BTC, emphasizing the company's strategic move to bolster its treasury amid declining Bitcoin prices.

Strategic Expansion and Partnerships
In a significant development, MARA announced its plan to acquire a 64% stake in Exaion, a subsidiary of the French energy giant EDF, with an option to increase ownership to 75% by 2027. This partnership aims to integrate MARA's technology stack with Exaion's capabilities to develop solutions that reduce processing costs and enhance edge infrastructure, pivotal for supporting the burgeoning AI economy. The transaction is expected to finalize in the fourth quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approval.
Furthermore, MARA has established its European headquarters in Paris, marking a strategic move to accelerate its international growth and strengthen its position in the European market. The expansion underscores MARA's commitment to forming energy partnerships that stabilize power grids and repurpose unused energy.
Operational Highlights
In August, MARA's share of available miner rewards remained steady at 4.9%, while transaction fees accounted for 0.8% of total rewards, a slight decrease from the previous month. The company opted not to sell any BTC during the month, reflecting its strategy to accumulate digital assets.
MARA's operational strategy is geared towards maximizing efficiency and ensuring sustainable growth. The company continues to enhance its infrastructure, particularly at its Texas wind farm, where all miners and containers are now operational, with full operations expected by Q4 2025.
This announcement comes amid a broader trend of increased institutional interest in cryptocurrency mining, as companies seek to harness digital technologies to enhance energy efficiency and capitalize on the growing demand for blockchain applications.
