MARA is a digital infrastructure company built to convert energy into high-value compute workloads. We primarily leverage Bitcoin mining as our core business. Building on this foundation, we have begun pursuing opportunities to expand our infrastructure capacity into adjacent high-value workloads, i…
We believe the next phase of digital infrastructure value creation will be shaped by control of power: where it is located, how flexibly it can be deployed and what returns it can generate across compute markets. Our strategy is organized around three reinforcing priorities.
1.Own and control low-cost energy. We believe energy is increasingly becoming the binding constraint on infrastructure growth. By acquiring and operating energy generation assets at below-market costs, we believe we can reduce our overall cost structure, protect against energy price volatility, and …
2.Build AI and digital infrastructure at scale. We are developing large-scale data center campuses. including co-located generation, land, water access and grid interconnection, to serve the growing demand for training, inference and critical IT workloads.
3.Bitcoin mining is our foundation. Bitcoin mining remains the foundation of our platform and the current primary monetization pathway for our energy assets. We intend to maintain a leading position as one of the world’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies while expanding our revenue ba…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
