Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
MARA Holdings, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “MARA”) is a vertically integrated digital energy and infrastructure company that leverages high-intensity compute, such as bitcoin mining, to monetize excess energy and optimize power management. The Company also offers advanced technology solutions to optimize data center operations, including next-generation liquid immersion cooling systems. The Company is primarily focused on computing for, acquiring, and holding bitcoin as a long-term investment.
The term “Bitcoin” with a capital “B” is used to denote the Bitcoin protocol which implements a highly available, public, permanent, and decentralized ledger. The term “bitcoin” with a lower case “b” is used to denote the digital asset, bitcoin.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions, including any noncontrolling interest, have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to interim financial information, which permit the omission of certain information to the extent it has not changed materially since the latest annual financial statements. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future fiscal periods in 2025 or for the full year ending December 31, 2025.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Reclassifications
Effective the first quarter of 2025, the Company made certain changes to the presentation of its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to provide greater transparency and improve the usefulness of its financial reporting. Specifically, the Company disaggregated cost of revenue and certain operating expenses into the following new line items: “Purchased energy costs,” “Third party hosting and other energy costs” and “Operating and maintenance costs.” In addition, cost of depreciation and amortization and amortization of intangibles have been aggregated into a single line item titled “Depreciation and amortization.” The Company also began separately
F-6
presenting expenses related to “Taxes other than on income,” which were previously included within general and administrative expenses.
These changes are intended to provide more meaningful information regarding the nature of the Company’s operating expenses and to align the presentation with the evolving nature of the Company’s operations.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision–making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM group is composed of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Company operates as one
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments and other short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). During March 2023, the Company began to participate, to the extent practicable, in insured cash sweep programs which “sweep” its deposits across multiple FDIC insured accounts, each with deposits of no more than $250.0 thousand. As of March 31, 2025, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were FDIC insured.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash as of March 31, 2025 principally represented those cash balances that support commercial letters of credit and are restricted from withdrawal.
Digital Assets
In 2024, the Company adopted a full holding onto bitcoin (“HODL”) approach towards its bitcoin treasury policy, retaining all bitcoin mined in its operations, and may periodically make strategic open market purchases of bitcoin. As a result, bitcoin digital assets are included in non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the Company’s intent to retain and hold bitcoin. Other digital assets are held with the intent to fund operating expenses are included in current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, digital assets loaned and collateralized were reported as “Digital assets - receivable, net” and classified as long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as it is the Company’s intent to maintain the loaned and collateralized bitcoin consistent with its HODL policy. Proceeds from the sale of digital assets are included within investing activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Following the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-08, Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets, effective January 1, 2023, the Company measures digital assets at fair value with changes recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, in accordance with ASC 350-60 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Crypto Assets (“ASC 350-60”). The Company tracks its cost basis of digital assets in accordance with the first-in-first-out method of accounting. Refer to Note 5 – Digital Assets, for further information.
Digital Assets - Receivable, net
The Company lends digital assets to counterparties under fixed term loans. In addition, the Company has pledged bitcoin as collateral for a line of credit. Digital asset receivables that do not have a prespecified maturity date are
F-7
repayable at the Company’s option, subject to notice between and 35 business days. A borrower may elect to repay at any time, without incurring any penalty or premium. While the loan is outstanding, the borrower has the right and the ability to use the digital assets at its discretion, including the ability to sell or pledge the borrowed digital assets to third parties. At the conclusion of the loan, the borrower is obligated to return the same type and quantity of digital assets as those lent by the Company.
The digital asset receivables are initially measured upon transfer at fair value and subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period. The changes in fair value are recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, in accordance with ASC 350-60. A loan fee is accrued daily based on the amount owing, paid on a monthly basis consistent with each loan’s terms.
The digital asset receivable balance is evaluated for possible credit losses, in accordance with ASC 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses on digital assets receivables under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model is determined by utilizing the profitability of default (“PD”) loss given default (“LGD”) approach. In order to apply the PD LGD approach, management considers the remaining expected life of the loans and forecasts of future economic conditions. Allowance for credit losses are included in “Other” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 6 – Digital Assets - Receivable, Net for further information.
Other Receivable
Derivatives
The Company enters into derivative contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the price of bitcoin and energy costs and not for any other purpose. In addition, the Company evaluates its financing and service arrangements to determine whether certain arrangements contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation in accordance with ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging. Embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated from the host instrument or arrangement are accounted for and valued as separate financial instruments. There were no
The Company does not elect to designate derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes and, as such, records derivatives at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value and settlements recognized in earnings. The Company classifies derivative assets or liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as current or non-current based on whether settlement of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date and for derivatives with multiple settlements, based on the term of the contract.
Bitcoin Derivatives
From time to time the Company enters into derivative contracts to mitigate bitcoin market pricing volatility risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a $7.7 million loss on derivatives as a non-operating expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, settled through bitcoin. There were no derivative instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2025, and various derivative instruments to mitigate bitcoin market pricing volatility risk outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
Energy Derivatives
The Company acquired a commodity swap contract as a result of the GC Data Center Acquisition on January 12, 2024. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions, for further information. The commodity swap contract hedges price variability in electricity purchases and expires on December 31, 2027. The commodity swap contract meets the definition of a derivative due to terms that provide for net settlement. As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative asset instrument was $35.8 million, estimated using observable market-based inputs classified

Property and Equipment
Investments
Investments, which may be made from time-to-time for strategic reasons, are included in non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 9 – Investments, for further information.
Equity Method Investments
Other Investments
Investments in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and does not have readily determinable fair values, are recorded at cost minus impairment, plus or minus changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, in accordance with the measurement alternative described in ASC 321 - Investments – Equity Securities (“ASC 321”).
As part of the Company’s policy to maximize return on strategic investment opportunities, while preserving capital and limiting downside risk, the Company may at times enter into equity investments or Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFE”). The nature and timing of the Company’s investments will depend on available capital at any particular time and the investment opportunities identified and available to the Company. However, the Company generally does not make investments for speculative purposes and does not intend to engage in the business of making investments.
F-9
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception based on whether or not the Company has the right to control the asset during the contract period and other facts and circumstances. At lease inception, the Company determines the lease classification as either an operating or finance lease, with classification effecting the expense recognition on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For leases with terms longer than 12 months, a lease liability is recorded on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the present value of its fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term, including renewal extension options, and a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset equal to the initial lease liability is recorded, adjusted for any prepayments, indirect costs and lease incentives, as well as adjustments to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of an acquired lease when compared to market terms at the time of an acquisition. Refer to Note 15 – Leases, for further information.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, and instead, assessed for impairment annually at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount in accordance with ASC 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.
The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, in which case a quantitative impairment test is not required.
As provided for by ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit are considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.
Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets acquired through business combinations are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
Intangible assets with finite lives are comprised of customer relationships and intellectual property and are amortized over their estimated useful lives on an accelerated basis over the projected pattern of economic benefits, which range from to four years . Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value has been reduced to less than its carrying amount.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 - Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, measured at the acquisition date fair value. The determination of fair value involves assumptions, estimates and judgments. The initial allocation of the purchase price is considered preliminary and therefore subject to change until the end of the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net assets acquired. Contingent consideration is included within the purchase price and is initially recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration, classified as either an asset or a liability, is remeasured to fair value each reporting period, until the contingency is resolved. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration period-over-period are recognized in earnings.
Acquisition related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.
F-10
Revenues
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a reporting entity should recognize revenues to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Refer to Note 4 – Revenues, for further information.
Purchased Energy Costs
The Company defines purchased energy costs as the amount paid to power providers for power consumed related to the Company’s owned bitcoin mining operations.
Third Party Hosting and Other Energy Costs
The Company considers third party hosting and other energy costs as power expenses paid to power providers for power consumed related to third party hosted bitcoin mining operations, as well as other digital asset mining operation energy costs. As of March 31, 2025, the Company have third party hosting agreements extending through 2028, refer to Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies, for further information.
Stock-based Compensation
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Research and Development
Research and development costs consist primarily of contractor costs, equipment, supplies, personnel, and related expenses for research and development activities. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 730 - Research and Development and are included in operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Research and development costs were $9.3 million and $2.5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively.
F-11
Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 18.26 % and 10.14 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The difference between the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% was primarily due to non-deductible officer compensation, which represents a permanent difference that reduces the overall tax benefit.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company concluded, based upon all available evidence, it was more likely than not that it would have sufficient future taxable income to realize the Company’s federal and state deferred tax assets, as the Company continues to be in a three year cumulative income position.
Income Tax in Interim Periods
The Company records its tax expense or benefit on an interim basis using an estimated annual effective tax rate. This rate is applied to the current period ordinary income or loss to determine the income tax provision or benefit allocated to the interim period. The income tax effects of unusual or infrequent items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate and are recognized in the impacted interim period.
Adjustments to the estimated annual effective income tax rate are recognized in the period when such estimates are revised.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company files federal and state income tax returns. The 2021-2024 tax years generally remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities, although the Company is not currently under examination in any jurisdiction.
The Company does not currently expect any of its remaining unrecognized tax benefits to be recognized in the next twelve months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement may affect the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes an analysis to determine any required changes to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements properly reflect the change.
In March 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2025-02, Liabilities (405): Amendments to SEC Paragraph Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122. ASU 2025-02 amends the Accounting Standard Codification to remove the text of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 121, as rescinded by SAB 122. The new standard is effective immediately and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose specific rate reconciliations, amount of income taxes separated by federal and individual jurisdiction, and the amount of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) disaggregated between federal, state, and foreign. The new standard is effective for the Company for its annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company has concluded that it will adopt the standard prospectively on the Consolidated Financial Statements to be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new requirement for its income tax disclosure.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS
The Wind Farm (Hansford County, Texas)
On February 14, 2025, the Company acquired a wind farm located in Hansford County, Texas with 240 megawatts of interconnection capacity, with 114 megawatts of nameplate wind capacity from Great Plains Wind Park Holdings, LLC (the “Wind Farm”) for a total consideration of $49.2 million, including transaction costs and contingent consideration. The primary assets acquired were property and equipment of $48.2 million and $1.0 million related to working capital. In addition, the Company recorded a $10.9 3.3 million asset retirement obligation and offsetting liability, recognized in property and equipment and other long-term liabilities, respectively. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition that did not meet the definition of a business. The total consideration was allocated based on the relative fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and no goodwill was recognized. This acquisition is intended to convert underutilized sustainable resources into economic value, achieve low energy cost, and enable broader renewable energy development.
GC Data Center Acquisition (Granbury, Texas and Kearney, Nebraska)
On January 12, 2024, the Company acquired two operational bitcoin mining sites located in Granbury, Texas and Kearney, Nebraska, totaling 390 megawatts of nameplate capacity in the GC Data Center Acquisition for total consideration of $189.6 million, including a working capital adjustment that was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024, plus up to an additional $19.6 million of cash, which amount is contingent on the expansion of additional megawatt capacity at the acquired facilities by certain milestone dates during the three year period following the anniversary of closing. The acquisition is intended to improve efficiencies and the scale of operations through the integration of the Company’s technology stack and realization of synergies.
The Company will not be taking on any new hosting services customers at these locations and will transition to self-mining at these two sites as existing customer agreements expire or are terminated early.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired. The Company expects the goodwill balance to be deductible for tax purposes over a period of 15 years. Goodwill is primarily attributed to growth and efficiency opportunities as well as expected synergies from combining the operations of bitcoin mining sites with the Company.
The gross contractual amounts receivable were $24.0 million, of which $3.6 million is expected to be uncollectible. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company terminated various customer agreements and recognized an $22.1 million charge recorded to “Early termination expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair value of property and equipment was estimated by applying the cost approach, which estimates fair value using replacement or reproduction cost of an asset of comparable utility, adjusted for loss in value due to depreciation and economic obsolescence, which are considered Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the derivative was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that considers various assumptions including current market prices and electricity forward curves, time value, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are considered Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the contingent earn-out was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach, which included assumptions regarding the probability-weighted cash flows of achieving certain capacity development milestones, which are considered Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the lease liability was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach, which included assumptions regarding current market prices for similar assets, estimated term and discount rates, which are considered Level 3 inputs.
Intangible assets were determined to meet the criterion for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values of intangible assets were estimated based on various valuation techniques including the use of discounted cash flow analyses, and multi-period excess earnings valuation approaches, which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy. These valuation inputs included estimates and assumptions about forecasted future cash flows, long-term revenue growth rates, and discount rates. The fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset was determined using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates the excess earnings method and will be amortized on an accelerated basis over the
F-14
projected pattern of economic benefits of approximately 4 years. As of December 31, 2024, the Company fully amortized customer relationships acquired for $22.0 million.
The results of the acquired facilities have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as of the acquisition date.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the acquisition of GC Data Center Acquisition by the application of pro forma adjustments to the Company’s historical financial statements as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023, for the indicated periods:

There were no material nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition included within the unaudited pro forma financial information.
NOTE 4 – REVENUES
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606. The core principle of the revenue standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
•Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer;
•Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
•Step 3: Determine the transaction price;
•Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
•Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
F-15
In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, an entity must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met:
•The customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct); and
•The entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).
If a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services is identified that is distinct.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:
•Variable consideration
•Constraining estimates of variable consideration
•The existence of a significant financing component in the contract
•Noncash consideration
•Consideration payable to a customer
Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized under the accounting contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.
The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time, as appropriate.
Application of the Five-Step Model to the Company’s Mining and Hosting Operations
The Company’s ongoing major or central operation is to provide bitcoin transaction verification services to the transaction requestor, in addition to the Bitcoin network through a Company-operated mining pool as the operator (“Operator”) (such activity, “mining”) and to provide a service of performing hash calculations to third-party pool operators alongside collectives of third-party bitcoin miners (such collectives, “mining pools”) as a participant (“Participant”).
In 2024, the Company acquired multiple operational bitcoin mining sites for the purpose of improving efficiencies and the scale of the Company’s mining operations. The Company provided hosting services to institutional-scale crypto mining companies at these sites. The Company will not be taking on any new hosting services customers at these locations and will transition to self-mining at these sites as existing customer agreements expire or are terminated early.

Mining Operator
As Operator, the Company provides transaction verification services to the transaction requestor, in addition to the Bitcoin network. Transaction verification services are an output of the Company’s ordinary activities; therefore, the Company views the transaction requestor as a customer and recognizes the transaction fees as revenue from contracts with customers under ASC 606. The Bitcoin network is not an entity such that it may not meet the definition of a customer; however, the Company has concluded that it is appropriate to apply ASC 606 by analogy to block rewards earned from the Bitcoin network. The Company is currently entitled to the block reward of 3.125 bitcoin, subsequent to the halving that occurred on April 19, 2024. Prior to the halving, the Company was entitled to the block reward of 6.25 bitcoin from each successful validation of a block. The Company is also entitled to the transaction fees paid by the transaction requester payable in bitcoin for each successful validation of a block. The Company assessed the following factors in the determination of the inception and duration of each individual contract to validate a block and satisfaction of its performance obligation as follows:
•For each individual contract, the parties’ rights, the transaction price, and the payment terms are fixed and known as of the inception of each individual contract.
•The transaction requestor and the Bitcoin network each have a unilateral enforceable right to terminate their respective contracts at any time without penalty.
•For each of these respective contracts, contract inception and completion occur simultaneously upon block validation; that is, the contract begins upon, and the duration of the contract does not extend beyond, the validation of an individual blockchain transaction; and each respective contract contains a single performance obligation to perform a transaction validation service and this performance obligation is satisfied at the point-in-time when a block is successfully validated.
From September 2021 until May 2022, the Company engaged unrelated third-party mining enterprises (“pool participants”) to contribute hash calculations, and in exchange, remitted transaction fees and block rewards to pool participants on a pro rata basis according to each respective pool participant’s contributed hash calculations. The MaraPool wallet (owned by the Company as Operator) is recorded on the distributed ledger as the winner of proof of work block rewards and assignee of all validations and, therefore, the transaction verifier of record. The pool participants entered into contracts with the Company as Operator; they did not directly enter into contracts with the network or the requester and were not known verifiers of the transactions assigned to the pool. As Operator, the Company delegated mining work to the pool participants utilizing software that algorithmically assigned work to each individual miner. By virtue of its selection and operation of the software, the Company as Operator controlled delegation of work to the pool participants. This indicated that the Company directed the mining pool participants to contribute their hash calculations to solve in areas that the Company designated. Therefore, the Company determined that it controlled the service of providing transaction verification services to the network and requester. Accordingly, the Company recorded all of the transaction fees and block rewards earned from transactions assigned
F-17
to MaraPool as revenue, and the portion of the transaction fees and block rewards remitted to MaraPool participants as purchased energy costs.
In accordance with ASC 606-10-32-21, the Company measures the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration (block reward and transaction fees) at contract inception, which is at the time the performance obligation to the requester and the network is fulfilled by successfully validating a block. The Company measures the non-cash consideration which is fixed as of the inception of each individual contract using the quoted spot rate for bitcoin determined using the Company’s primary trading platform for bitcoin at the time the Company successfully validates a block.
Expenses associated with providing bitcoin transaction verification services, such as hosting fees, electricity costs, and related fees are recorded as purchased energy costs. Depreciation on digital asset mining equipment is recorded as depreciation and amortization.
Mining Participant
The Company participates in third-party operated mining pools. When the Company is a Participant in a third-party operated mining pool, the Company provides a service to perform hash calculations to the third-party pool operators. The Company considers the third-party mining pool operators to be its customers under Topic 606. Contract inception and the Company’s enforceable right to consideration begins when the Company commences providing hash calculation services to the mining pool operators. Each party to the contract has the unilateral right to terminate the contract at any time without any compensation to the other party for such termination. As such, the duration of a contract is less than a day and may be continuously renewed multiple times throughout the day. The implied renewal option is not a material right because there are no upfront or incremental fees in the initial contract and the terms, conditions, and compensation amount for the renewal options are at the then market rates.
The Company is entitled to non-cash compensation based on the pool operator’s payout model. The payout methodologies differ depending on the type of third-party operated mining pool. Full-Pay-Per-Share (“FPPS”) pools pay block rewards and transaction fees, less mining pool fees and Pay-Per-Share (“PPS”) pools pay block rewards less mining pool fees but no transaction fees. For FPPS and PPS pools, the Company is entitled to non-cash consideration even if a block is not successfully validated by the mining pool operators. Success-based mining pools pay a fractional share of the successfully mined block and transaction fees, reduced by pool operator expenses only if a block is successfully validated.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and during 2024, the Company participated in FPPS mining pools.
FPPS Mining Pools
The Company primarily participates in mining pools that use the FPPS payout method for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company is entitled to compensation once it begins to perform hash calculations for the pool operator in accordance with the operator’s specifications over a 24-hour period beginning midnight UTC and ending 23:59:59 UTC on a daily basis. The non-cash consideration that the Company is entitled to for providing hash calculations to the pool operator under the FPPS payout method is made up of block rewards and transaction fees less pool operator expenses determined as follows:
•The non-cash consideration in the form of a block reward is based on the total blocks expected to be generated on the Bitcoin network for the daily 24-hour period beginning midnight UTC and ending 23:59:59 UTC in accordance with the following formula: the daily hash calculations that the Company provided to the pool operator as a percent of the Bitcoin network’s implied hash calculations as determined by the network difficulty, multiplied by the total Bitcoin network block rewards expected to be generated for the same daily period.
•The non-cash consideration in the form of transaction fees paid by transaction requestors is based on the share of total actual fees paid over the daily 24-hour period beginning midnight UTC and ending 23:59:59 UTC in accordance with the following formula: total actual transaction fees generated on the Bitcoin network during the 24-hour period as a percent of total block rewards the Bitcoin network actually
F-18
generated during the same 24-hour period, multiplied by the block rewards the Company earned for the same 24-hour period noted above.
•The block reward and transaction fees earned by the Company is reduced by mining pool fees charged by the operator for operating the pool based on a rate schedule per the mining pool contract. The mining pool fee is only incurred to the extent the Company performs hash calculations and generates revenue in accordance with the pool operator’s payout formula during the same 24-hour period beginning midnight UTC daily.
The above non-cash consideration is variable in accordance with paragraphs ASC 606-10-32-5 to 606-10-32-7, since the amount of block reward earned depends on the amount of hash calculations the Company performs; the amount of transaction fees the Company is entitled to depends on the actual Bitcoin network transaction fees over the same 24-hour period; and the operator fees for the same 24-hour period are variable since they are determined based on the total block rewards and transaction fees in accordance with the pool operator’s agreement. While the non-cash consideration is variable, the Company has the ability to estimate the variable consideration at contract inception with reasonable certainty without the risk of significant revenue reversal. The Company does not constrain this variable consideration because it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognized from the contract will not occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved and recognizes the non-cash consideration on the same day that control is transferred, which is the same day as contract inception.
The Company measures the non-cash consideration based on the simple average daily spot rate of bitcoin determined using the Company’s primary trading platform for bitcoin over a 24-hour period beginning midnight UTC and ending 23:59:59 UTC on the day of contract inception. The Company recognizes non-cash consideration on the same day that control of the contracted service is transferred to the pool operator, which is the same day as the contract inception.
Hosting Services
The Company operates multiple bitcoin mining sites, which were acquired during the year ended December 31, 2024, that provide hosting services to institutional-scale crypto mining companies. Hosting services include colocation and managed services. Colocation services include providing mining companies with sheltered data center space, electrical power, cooling, and internet connectivity. Managed services generally include providing customers with technical support and maintenance services, in addition to colocation services. As of March 31, 2025, only one customer remains associated with these hosting services. The Company will not be taking on any new hosting services customers and will transition acquired sites to self-mining as existing customer agreements expire or are terminated early.
Colocation services revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance. Managed services revenue is recognized at a point-in-time as the control transfers to the customer, satisfying the performance obligation. The transaction price for colocation services is variable based on the consumption of energy and the managed services price is a fixed rate per miner basis. The Company recognizes hosting services revenue to the extent that a significant reversal of such revenue will not occur. Hosting services customers are generally invoiced in advance of the month in which the Company satisfies its performance obligation, and deferred revenue is recorded for any upfront payments received in advance of the Company’s performance. The monthly transaction price is generally variable based on the amount of megawatt hours (“MWh”) consumed by the customers equipment and when other monthly contracted services are performed. At the end of each month, the customer is billed for the actual amount owed for services performed. The Company recognizes revenue for hosting services under the right-to-invoice practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-18, which allows for the recognition of revenue over time as the Company’s right-to-invoice for final payment corresponds directly with the value of services transferred to the customer to-date.
Expenses associated with providing hosting services are recorded as third party hosting and other energy costs and depreciation on hosting equipment is recorded as depreciation and amortization.

The digital asset receivables forementioned are initially recognized at fair value upon transfer and subsequently remeasured at fair value each reporting period. The changes in fair value are recognized as “Changes to digital assets - receivable, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The allowance for credit losses reflects the Company’s current estimate of the potential credit losses associated with the digital asset loan receivable and bitcoin provided as collateral to secure lines of credit for a total of $350.0 million. The credit loss is recorded as a valuation account, directly offsetting the digital asset receivables on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes to the allowance for credit losses on loans, based on quarterly analyses, are recorded as provision for credit losses within “Other” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company assesses the creditworthiness of its borrowers on a quarterly basis. For the purpose of determining the allowance for credit loss, financial assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together. Our financial assets are aggregated by exposure term and assigned risk ratings. The Company considers credit ratings and several factors including the collateral and/or security of the digital asset receivable and are aligned with the ratings used by major credit ratings agencies.
Given the limited historical data related to digital asset receivables and incurred losses related to digital asset receivables, the Company chose to rely on external data to perform the calculation of expected credit losses. The Company utilized the profitability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) approach to estimate the allowance for credit loss. In order to apply the PD LGD approach, management considered the lifetime of the digital asset receivables, the reasonable and supportable forecast, and the PD LGD.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a corresponding allowance for credit loss of $13.5 million, based on the PD LGD approach. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had digital asset receivables outstanding and recorded an allowance for credit loss of $8.4 million.
NOTE 7 – ADVANCES TO VENDORS AND DEPOSITS
The Company contracts with bitcoin mining equipment manufacturers to procure equipment necessary for the operation of its bitcoin mining operations. These agreements typically require a certain percentage of the value of the total order to be paid in advance at specific intervals, usually within several days of execution of a contract and periodically thereafter with final payments due prior to each shipment date. The Company accounts for these payments as “Advances to vendors” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, such advances totaled approximately $134.0 million and $121.3 million, respectively.
In addition, the Company contracts with various service providers for hosting of its equipment, operational support in data centers where the Company’s equipment is deployed and construction of data centers on leased sites. These contracts typically require advance payments to service providers in conjunction with the contractual obligations associated with these services. Additionally, when applicable, funds related to a surety bond are included. The Company classifies these payments as “Deposits” and “Long-term deposits” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2025, the total carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Auradine, Inc. (“Auradine”) preferred stock was $85.4 million.
On February 19, 2025, the Company converted $1.2 million from its prior Auradine SAFE investment into preferred stock and purchased additional shares of Auradine preferred stock for a purchase price of $20.0 million. The preferred stock purchased on February 19, 2025 was similar to the Company’s other investments in Auradine preferred stock and, as a result, the Company recorded $11.9 million as a gain on investment to adjust the carrying value of its investments to an observable price in accordance with the measurement alternative in ASC 321.
In addition, the Company recorded an additional $2.7 million gain on investment to adjust the carrying value of its common stock investment in Auradine to an observable price, in accordance with ASC 321. The gain on investments was recorded to “Other” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other Investments
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company wrote off a previous investment of $2.3 million, as the Company believed there were indicators the carrying value may not be recoverable. The loss on investments was recorded to “Other” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no SAFE investments. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had two SAFE investments with a carrying value of $1.4 million.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The Company measures certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability.
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
| Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |||||||
| Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data | |||||||
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions | |||||||
The carrying amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, deposits, prepaid expenses and other current assets, advances to vendors, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Additionally, the carrying amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Company’s operating lease liabilities and other long-term liabilities approximate fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the Company.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company measures the fair value of its marketable securities and investments by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing sources. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs included reported trades of and broker-dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark securities and other observable inputs.
Recurring measurement of fair value
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s estimated level within the fair value hierarchy for each of those assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively:

Ho v. Marathon
On January 14, 2021, plaintiff Michael Ho (“Ho”) filed a civil complaint (the “Complaint”) in which he alleged, among other things, that the Company breached the terms of a non-disclosure agreement, profited from commercially sensitive information he shared with the Company, and refused to compensate him for his role in securing the Company’s acquisition of an energy supplier. The Complaint initially alleged six causes of action: (1) breach of written contract, (2) breach of implied contract, (3) quasi-contract, (4) services rendered, (5) intentional interference with prospective economic relations, and (6) negligent interference with prospective economic relations. On February 22, 2021, the Company responded to the Complaint with a general denial of the claims and asserted certain affirmative defenses. On February 25, 2021, the Company removed the action to the United States District Court in the Central District of California (the “Court”). The Company subsequently filed a motion for summary judgment with respect to each of the causes of action. As a result of the Court’s summary judgment ruling and Ho’s voluntary dismissal of certain claims, the only remaining cause of action at the time of verdict was breach of written contract.
F-34
On July 8, 2024, the Court commenced a jury trial with respect to the sole remaining claim. On July 18, 2024, the jury determined that the Company had breached the non-disclosure agreement and returned a verdict in the amount of $138.8 million. On September 18, 2024, the Court entered a judgment of the same amount, plus post-judgment interest. The Company has not paid any portion of the award. On October 16, 2024, the Company filed a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law (or in the alternative for a new trial and remittitur), which seeks to overturn, or at a minimum significantly reduce, the damage award. Also on October 16, 2024, the Company filed a motion to correct the post-judgment interest rate set forth in the judgment, and Ho filed a motion requesting an award of pre-judgment interest. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company acquired a surety bond for the amount owing.
On May 7, 2025, the Court entered an order denying the Company’s motions for judgment as a matter of law and for a new trial but granted a 20 percent reduction of the jury’s verdict. The Court also denied Ho’s motion for pre-verdict prejudgment interest but awarded post-verdict prejudgment interest. The Company intends to continue to defend its positions vigorously and assert its various legal arguments to challenge both the verdict and the amount of the award.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND TRENDS
Overview
MARA is a vertically integrated digital energy and infrastructure company that leverages high-intensity compute, such as bitcoin mining, to monetize excess energy and optimize power management. We are focused on two key priorities: strategically growing by shifting our model toward low-cost energy with more efficient capital deployment and bringing to market a full suite of solutions for data centers and edge inference, including energy management, load balancing and advanced cooling. As of March 31, 2025, our total energy portfolio consisted of approximately 1.7 gigawatts (“GW”) of capacity with 16 data centers deployed across North America, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. We believe we are one of the world’s largest publicly traded bitcoin mining companies, with the majority of our production in the United States.
While we remain a dominant player in bitcoin mining, we have expanded our footprint in energy generation and are investing in research and development to establish a presence in AI and adjacent markets, creating additional revenue opportunities over the long term. We believe the AI industry is shifting towards inference computing, which requires distributed, low-latency, and energy-efficient infrastructure. To support this shift, we are developing modular at the edge infrastructure solutions, including next-generation two-phase immersion cooling (“2PIC”)
37
systems designed to improve efficiency and sustainability. We are also exploring power management solutions, including load balancing, to provide services to the variable energy demands of AI inference workloads. We intend to continue vertically integrating and further reduce energy costs.
Recent Developments
Highlights from the quarter ended March 31, 2025:
•On February 14, 2025, we completed the acquisition of a wind farm (the “Wind Farm”) in Hansford County, Texas with 240 megawatts (“MW”) of interconnection capacity and 114 MW of nameplate wind capacity. The Wind Farm will utilize previous-generation ASIC mining hardware to provide an avenue for the hardware to continue operating profitably beyond its normal lifecycle.
•On March 11, 2025, we secured a $150.0 million line of credit, collateralized by a portion of our bitcoin holdings, to support general corporate needs. As of March 31, 2025, approximately 3,250 bitcoin remained pledged as collateral in connection with this line of credit.
•On March 28, 2025, we commenced a new at-the-market offering program having an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 billion.
In addition, during April 2025, we fully energized our 25 MW micro data center initiative at wellheads in North Dakota and Texas, converting excess flared gas into power for our operations. These sites reduce our reliance on grid power and provide us with the lowest cost per bitcoin of our currently operational sites.
Bitcoin Value
Our revenues are generally comprised of block rewards earned in bitcoin as a result of successfully solving blocks, and transaction fees earned for verifying transactions in support of the blockchain. After the halving event of April 2024, the current reward for each solved block is equal to 3.125 bitcoin plus transaction fees. The impacts of halving on our results of operations and financial condition may be exacerbated by changes in the market value of bitcoin, which has historically been subject to significant volatility. For example, as of March 31, 2025, the price of a bitcoin was $82,534, compared to $71,289 as of March 31, 2024.
We continue to retain all bitcoin mined in our operations or purchased, in line with our full holding onto bitcoin (“HODL”) strategy. As of March 31, 2025, we held approximately 47,531 bitcoin, including 14,269 loaned and collateralized bitcoin, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with a carrying value of approximately $3.9 billion. The fair value of our bitcoin may be materially impacted as the market value of bitcoin fluctuates. Management believes, given our recent investments, coupled with our relative position and liquidity, we are well-positioned to execute on our long-term growth strategy.
The following table presents our bitcoin digital asset holdings (including loaned and collateralized bitcoin) and the fair value per bitcoin:

Bitcoin Mining Operations
In response to an increased demand for bitcoin, we anticipate additional mining operators entering the market and existing competitors scaling their operations, which will grow the blockchain’s network hashrate and difficulty
38
associated with solving a block. As the overall hashrate and difficulty of the Bitcoin network increases, we will need to continue growing our hashrate to remain competitive.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we mined 2,286 bitcoin, a decrease of 525 bitcoin, or 19%, from the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the result of the April 2024 halving event and the increase in global hashrate.
As of March 31, 2025, we owned approximately 420,000 mining rigs globally, including our share of mining rigs from our equity method investee, the ADGM entity, with an energized hashrate of approximately 54.3 exahashes per second (“EH/s”). To stay competitive, we remain focused on strategically deploying additional mining rigs and scaling our operations, while managing our fleet as it ages along the obsolescence curve. In addition, we continuously evaluate strategic opportunities to support our growth strategy and seek to enhance operational efficiencies by utilizing efficient mining rigs and securing contracts with price protection clauses.
The following table presents our computing power, miner efficiency and supplemental information as of March 31, 2025 and 2024:
As of March 31, | |||||||||||

BTC Yield (3) | 3.5 | % | 2.6 | % | |||||||
| Share of available miner rewards | 5.5 | % | 3.1 | % | |||||||
(1) We define Energized Hashrate as the total hashrate that could theoretically be generated if all mining rigs that have been operational are currently in operation and running at 100% of manufacturers’ specifications. We use this metric as an indicator of progress in bringing mining rigs online. We believe this metric is a useful indicator of potential bitcoin production. However, metrics cannot be tied directly to any production level expected to be actually achieved as (a) there may be delays in the energization of hashrate (b) we cannot predict when operational mining rigs may be offline for any reason, including curtailment or machine failure and (c) we cannot predict Global Hashrate (and therefore our share of the Global Hashrate), which has a significant impact on our ability to generate bitcoin in any given period.
(2) The average number of joules of energy required to produce one terahash of computing power.
(3) BTC Yield is a key performance indicator that represents the percentage change period-to-period of the ratio between our bitcoin holdings and our Assumed Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding. Assumed Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding refers to the aggregate of our actual shares of common stock outstanding as of the end of the applicable period plus all additional shares that would result from the assumed conversion of all outstanding convertible notes inclusive of the potential make-whole fundamental change provision, exercise of all outstanding warrants and settlement of all outstanding restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units.
Energy Cost
Energy cost is the most significant cost driver for mining and represented 38.3%, as a percentage of our owned mining revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This excludes energy costs from third party hosted sites.
Energy cost can be highly volatile, cyclical and sensitive to geopolitical events and weather conditions, such as winter storms and earthquakes, which impact supply and demand for power regionally. All of our owned mining sites and our hosted miners are subject to variable prices and market rate fluctuations with respect to wholesale energy costs. Such costs are governed by various power purchase agreements, and energy prices can change hour to hour and by location. While this renders energy prices less predictable, it also gives us greater ability and flexibility to actively manage the energy we consume with a goal of increasing profitability and energy efficiency. When such events occur, we may curtail our operations to avoid using power at increased rates. Although we do not receive significant compensation for curtailment, the dispatchable load of our bitcoin mining operations helps balance the
39
grid and provides electricity to communities when in need. The average price of direct energy we paid for our owned facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.04 per kilowatt hour (“kWh”).

NM - Not meaningful
(1) Purchased energy cost per BTC is calculated as the amounts paid to power providers for power consumed divided by the quantity of bitcoin produced during the period related to our owned mining operations. In addition to the impact of the April 2024 halving event, purchased energy costs increased due to broad-based increases in energy costs.
(2) In 2024, the Company scaled its mining operations through acquisitions and deployment of additional infrastructure, resulting in an increase in its share of BTC block rewards. The growth was partially mitigated by the BTC halving event.
(3) Purchased energy cost per kWh is calculated using the amounts paid to power providers for power consumed divided by the kWh consumed related to our owned bitcoin mining operations. In the first quarter of 2024, this metric was not meaningful as we were in the early stages of our transition to a vertically integrated operating model focused on owned infrastructure. This transition began in January 2024, when we commenced acquiring data centers to support owned mining operations, which initially represented a limited portion of our overall operations during the period.

(2) Average price of BTC mined is calculated using BTC mining revenue divided by the bitcoin production, excluding our share of the bitcoin produced for the equity method investee, the ADGM entity.
We generated revenues of $213.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $165.2 million in the prior year period. The $48.7 million, or approximately 30%, increase in revenues was primarily driven by an increase in bitcoin mining revenue partially offset by a decrease in hosting services. The $68.9 million increase in bitcoin mining revenue was primarily driven by a 77% increase in the average bitcoin price, which contributed $90.7 million, partially offset by a $21.8 million decrease in bitcoin production due to halving.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, revenue from hosting services was $1.2 million and $20.8 million, respectively, a decrease of $19.6 million due to the termination of various hosting agreements from the GC Data Center Acquisition during 2024.

(1) Cost per Petahash per day is calculated using bitcoin mining costs attributable to purchased energy costs, third party hosting and other energy costs and operating and maintenance costs, divided by the daily average operational hashrate online during the period, excluding our share of the hashrate for the equity method investee, the ADGM Entity, and share of hashrate from our noncontrolling interest, by a factor of 1,000.
(2) Purchased energy cost per BTC is calculated as the amounts paid to power providers for power consumed divided by the quantity of bitcoin produced during the period related to our owned mining operations.
Purchased energy costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $43.5 million compared to $6.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of $37.4 million or approximately 614%. Purchased energy costs consist of power expenses paid to power providers for power consumed related to our owned bitcoin mining operations. The increase was primarily driven by the expansion of our owned mining sites through acquisitions and the growth in our hashrate to 54.3 EH/s. Our Cost per Petahash per day improved to $28.5 from $38.1, or approximately 25%, compared to the prior year period despite a higher network difficulty due to an increase in global hashrate. For the three months ended March 31, 2025. Purchased energy cost per bitcoin for our owned mining sites was $35,728 compared to $12,953 in the prior year period.
Third party hosting and other energy costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $68.2 million compared to $69.6 million in the prior year period, a decrease of $1.4 million or approximately 2%. These costs consist of colocation services related to third party hosted sites and energy expenses related to mining other digital assets. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in hosting related operating costs and unexpected equipment downtime in the prior year period, offset by an increase in energized miners at third party hosted facilities.
Operating and maintenance costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $19.8 million compared to $15.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of $4.0 million or approximately 25%. The increase in operating and maintenance costs was primarily due to an increase in shipping and warehouse fees and site repair and maintenance fees associated with our mining operations compared to the prior year period.

Refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our presentation change relating to our costs.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were $85.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $68.9 million in the prior year period. General and administrative expenses consist of stock based compensation, professional and legal fees and other people and office expenses. The $17.0 million, or approximately 25%, increase was primarily due to an increase in the scale of business and acquisitions, an increase in our employee headcount from 72 to 171 and an increase in professional fees as part of our strategic expansion. Stock based compensation decreased $3.0 million primarily due to the timing of grants. Restricted stock units awarded for 2023 performance were granted earlier during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the grant of 2025 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”).
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $157.9 million compared to $81.6 million in the prior year prior. The $76.3 million, or approximately 94%, increase was primarily due to the deployment of additional mining rigs and an overall increased scale of business.
Change in fair value of digital assets
We recognized a loss on digital assets of $394.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a gain of $488.8 million in the prior year period. The $883.0 million, or approximately 181%, decrease was primarily related to the change in bitcoin price from $93,354 to $82,534, from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, respectively and the underlying digital assets held. As of March 31, 2025, we had 47,531 bitcoin, an increase of 174% compared to the prior year period.
Change in fair value of derivative instrument
We recognized a gain on the change in fair value of derivative instrument of $26.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a loss of $15.3 million in the prior year period, to adjust the fair value of the commodity swap contract acquired in the GC Data Center Acquisition, which meets the definition of a derivative instrument and is measured each reporting period at fair value. The changes in fair value are primarily due to the movement in electricity forward curves prices during the respective periods.
Taxes other than on income
Taxes other than on income were $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $2.5 million in the prior year period. Taxes other than on income consist primarily of property and sales and use taxes.
Early termination expenses
In the first quarter of 2024, we entered into termination and transition agreements with the operator from the GC Data Center Acquisition, for an early termination fee of $13.5 million. In addition, we entered into an agreement for the early termination of a data center hosting agreement with one of its customers, upon which we forgave an outstanding accounts receivable balance of $8.6 million.
Research and development
Research and development expenses were $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $2.5 million in the prior year period. The $6.8 million, or approximately 277% increase, was primarily due to the increase in contractor costs, supplies, personnel, and related expenses for our mining and technology businesses.
42
Other income (loss)
Change in fair value of digital assets - receivable, net
We recognized a loss on digital assets - receivables, net of $116.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, for the fair value recognized in connection with the lending agreements with various counterparties and collateralized bitcoin in connection with the lines of credit. There were no such activities in the prior year period.
Equity in net earnings of unconsolidated affiliate
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded our share of net loss for our 20% interest in the ADGM Entity of nearly zero, compared to an income of $1.3 million in the prior year period. Our share of the ADGM Entity’s operating results included earnings from the production of 60 bitcoin and approximately $3.1 million of depreciation and amortization during the three months ended March 31, 2025, whereas in the prior year period, our share of ADGM Entity’s operating results included earnings from production of 171 bitcoin, a $4.1 million impairment of property and equipment and approximately $2.6 million of depreciation and amortization.

| Other | 2,474 | 2,944 | (470) | ||||||||||||||
Interest income increased by $9.4 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a higher average balance of cash and cash equivalents and interest earned on loaned bitcoin. Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 by $8.7 million primarily due to the Convertible Notes and the Line of Credit. Other of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily related to a net gain on investments of $12.4 million, partially offset by a $7.7 million loss on bitcoin derivative settlements and an adjustment to the allowance for credit loss related to additional bitcoin collateralized during the quarter.
Income tax benefit (expense)
We recorded income tax benefit of $119.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to an income tax expense of $38.1 million in the prior year period. The $119.2 million income tax benefit primarily reflects changes in pretax book income and loss during the periods, driven largely by fair value adjustments related to digital assets. The income tax benefit was partially offset by the prior year’s release of the valuation allowance.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by our management team in financial and operational decision-making, we supplement our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) with the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as (a) GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders plus (b) adjustments to add back the impacts of (1) interest, (2) income taxes, (3) depreciation and amortization and (4) adjustments for non-cash and/or non-recurring items, which currently include (i) stock compensation expense, (ii) change in fair value of derivative instrument, (iii) net gain on investments and (iv) early termination expenses.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, along with the supplemental information provided herein, as a means of understanding, managing and evaluating business performance and to help inform operating decision-making. We rely primarily on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to understand, manage and evaluate our financial performance and uses non-GAAP financial measures only supplementally.
43
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to us and to our investors because it excludes certain financial, capital structure and non-cash items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations, in part because they may vary widely across time and within our industry independent of the performance of our core operations. We believe that excluding these items enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period and relative to our competitors.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized financial measure under GAAP. When analyzing our operating results, investors should use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, but not as an alternative for, the most directly comparable financial results calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies, our presentation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025: Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $208.2 million at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $195.6 million from December 31, 2024.
Cash flows from operating activities resulted in a use of funds of $215.5 million, as net income (loss), adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items, in the amount of $34.7 million was offset by the use of cash of $250.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. When we produce and hold bitcoin on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, we exclude such bitcoin from our operating cash flows. If we monetize bitcoin in the future, those proceeds are reported as cash flows from investing activities. Changes in cash flows from operating assets and liabilities were driven by a use of funds associated with changes in digital assets of $212.7 million due to the non-cash adjustment for bitcoin mining revenues and deposits of $6.6 million resulting from increased deposits associated with hosting agreements and renewable energy credits.
Cash flows from investing activities resulted in a use of funds of $209.8 million, primarily resulting from the use of funds for advances to vendors of $97.4 million, purchase of property and equipment of $38.9 million, the purchase of 340 bitcoin for $27.1 million and payment of $36.3 million to acquire the Wind Farm for an additional 114 MW of nameplate capacity. The use of funds was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of digital assets of $8.7 million and the sale of property and equipment of $3.5 million.
Cash flows from financing activities resulted in a source of cash of $229.8 million, primarily from the periodic issuance of common stock under our 2024 ATM of $100.1 million and securing an additional $150.0 million line of credit. As of March 31, 2025, the facility was fully utilized.
Bitcoin holdings: At March 31, 2025, we held a total of 47,531 bitcoin, including 14,269 loaned and collateralized bitcoin, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with a total fair value of $3.9 billion. The fair value of a single bitcoin was approximately $82,534 at March 31, 2025.
Approximately 7,377 of our total bitcoin holdings were loaned to third parties to generate additional return and 6,892 bitcoin were utilized as collateral for borrowings. Loaned and collateralized bitcoin are classified as “Digital asset - receivables, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with a carrying value of $1.2 billion.
Consistent with our HODL strategy, the remaining 33,263 unrestricted bitcoin were classified as long-term digital assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with a fair value of $2.7 billion. Our holdings as of March 31, 2025 excluded 4 bitcoin held by our equity method investee, pending dividend to us.
We expect that our future bitcoin holdings will generally increase but will fluctuate from time to time, both in number of bitcoin held and fair value in U.S. dollars, depending upon operating and market conditions. We intend to add to our bitcoin holdings primarily through our production activities and from time to time purchases. As a result of our adoption of the aforementioned strategy, we anticipate funding our operating and investing activities principally from available cash and cash equivalents and from our financing activities.
At-the-Market Offering Programs and Proceeds: As of March 31, 2025, we sold 5,428,548 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100.1 million, net of commission and offering expenses of $2.6 million, pursuant to the 2024 ATM, which was terminated and replaced with the 2025 ATM on March 28, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $2.0 billion of our common stock remained available for issuance and sale pursuant to the 2025 ATM.
Liquidity and Capital Resources: Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, totaled $196.2 million and the fair value of digital asset holdings, including loaned and collateralized bitcoin, was $3.9 billion at March 31, 2025. The combined value of cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, and digital assets, including loaned and collateralized bitcoin, totaled nearly $4.1 billion as of March 31, 2025.
We expect that Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 122’s rescission of SAB 121, which required an entity to recognize a liability and corresponding asset for its obligation to safeguard crypto-assets, will increase commercial banks’ activity in our sector and provide us with expanded access to traditional financing, such as debt financing, project financing and other capital. Our access to financing sources on terms acceptable to us or at all is subject to market and other conditions.

While we classify our digital assets and digital asset receivables as long-term, consistent with the announced HODL strategy, both asset types are readily convertible to cash, and therefore considered a liquid resource.
We expect to have sufficient liquidity, including cash on hand and access to public capital markets, to support ongoing operations in the next 12 months and beyond. We will continue to seek to fund our business activities, and especially our growth opportunities, through the public capital markets, primarily through periodic equity issuances using our at-the-market facilities.
The risks to our liquidity outlook would include events that materially diminish our access to capital markets and/or the value of our bitcoin holdings and production capabilities, including:
•Failure to effectively execute our growth strategies;
•Declines in bitcoin prices and/or production, as well as impacts from bitcoin halving events, which would impact both the value of our bitcoin holdings and our ongoing profitability;
•Significant increases in electricity costs if these cost increases were not accompanied by increases in the price of bitcoin, as this would also reduce profitability;
•Deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, including the impacts of inflation, high interest rates, tariffs and trade wars, a prolonged recession, as well as instability in the banking system; and
•Failure to access financing on terms acceptable to us or at all.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
We contract with service providers for hosting our equipment and operational support in data centers where our equipment is deployed. Under these arrangements, we expect to pay at a minimum approximately (i) $161.9 million during the remainder of calendar year 2025 and (ii) $306.2 million in total payments during the calendar years 2026 through 2028. Under certain arrangements, we are required to pay variable pass-through power and service fees in addition to the estimated minimum amounts.
As of March 31, 2025, we had a remaining commitment of approximately $23.5 million due for the purchase of miners and other mining equipment per our purchase agreements, to be paid in periodic installments throughout 2025.
Assuming the remaining outstanding Convertible Notes are not converted into common stock, repurchased or redeemed prior to maturity, (i) remaining interest payments of approximately $0.5 million and $4.8 million through the remainder of the calendar year 2025 for the 1.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “December 2026 Notes”) and the 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “September 2031 Notes”), respectively, (ii) annual interest payments of approximately $0.7 million in the 2026 calendar year in connection with the December 2026 Notes and annual interest payments of approximately $6.4 million in each calendar year from 2026 through 2031 in connection with the September 2031 Notes and (iii) principal for each of the Convertible Notes upon maturity, for a total of $2.3 billion, will be payable under the terms of the Convertible Notes. Refer to Note 14 – Debt in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information.
We have operating and finance lease obligations related to land and office buildings. We expect to make payments of $1.8 million and $0.2 million related to operating and finance leases, respectively, for the remainder of 2025 and $65.5 million and $89.6 million related to operating and finance leases, respectively, thereafter. Refer to Note 15 – Leases in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information.
On March 11, 2025, we secured an additional line of credit for $150.0 million, collateralized by 3,250 of our bitcoin holdings. We used the funds for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2025, the facility was fully utilized.
