MARA Announces Bitcoin Production and Mining Operation Updates for March 2025
242 Blocks Won in March, 17% Increase M/M
Increased BTC Holdings* to 47,531 BTC
Fort Lauderdale, FL, April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) ("MARA" or the "Company"), a global leader in leveraging digital asset compute to support energy transformation, today published unaudited bitcoin ("bitcoin" or "BTC") production updates for March 2025.
Management Commentary
"In March, our production saw a 17% month-over-month increase in blocks won, even as global hashrate and mining difficulty grew," said Fred Thiel, MARA's chairman and CEO. "Our bitcoin holdings surpassed 47,000 BTC during March and the 242 blocks mined were the third most in a month on record.
"MARAPool is the only self-owned and operated mining pool among public miners, offering distinctive control and efficiency. Operating our own pool means no fees to external operators, higher earnings and superior performance. MARA Pool's luck factor has exceeded the network average by over 10% since launch, meaning more blocks mined and higher rewards.
"Energized hashrate grew 1% over February and we expect to finish construction of our 40-megawatt data center in Ohio by the end of April. We will continue to focus on being the dominant player in bitcoin mining while expanding our footprint in energy generation."
