MARA Grows Hashrate, Reaches 50k Bitcoin & Plans Expansion

Key Highlights 

• MARA hit a major benchmark in bitcoin holdings.
• Energized hashrate rose again in July 2025.
• A wind-powered data centre is on the way. 

MARA Holdings Inc., a leading digital asset infrastructure company, today August 4, 2025, shared its unaudited bitcoin production results for July 2025. The numbers are big as the company has acquired more than 50,000 BTC. With these holdings, MARA has officially locked in its spot as the world’s second largest publicly traded holder of bitcoin. 

MARA’s Management Reflects on July’s Performance

Fred Thiel, MARA’s chairman and CEO stated “In July, our production saw a 2% month-over-month decrease in blocks won as global hashrate rebounded following seasonal curtailment and mining difficulty was 9% higher than the end of June.” The CEO emphasized that even with industry headwinds, MARA hit a major milestone which was crossing 50,000 BTC. However, beyond the numbers, it’s the path that stands as this treasury was not stumbled upon. It was built deliberately through smart infrastructure moves, calculated operations and with proper execution. All of this was carried out block by block.

The CEO and chairman also highlighted a 3% month-over-month increase in MARA’s energized hashrate. The company is gearing up to begin energizing its data centre at the Texas wind farm in the second half of the year. This will be a major step as the company will be expanding its renewable-powered operations. Performance at the Ohio sites took a hit due to higher-than-expected curtailment, but MARA’s teams offset the impact by improving efficiency at Wolf Hollow and Karney, which increased productivity and streamlined the supply chain.

Operational Metrics: Navigating Volatility

If you look at the numbers presented, the numbers will indicates just how complex large-scale bitcoin mining can be and how amazingly well the company is navigating through it. As per the reports, MARA has mined 207 blocks in July, down just 2% from June’s 211. It produced 703 BTC for the month which was a little lower than June’s 713 BTC. The average daily output also dipped from 23.8 to 22.7 BTC which is a 4% slack.

MARA’s share of total miner reward was also seen to have slipped from 5.4% to 4.9%. The company attributes this drop to tougher mining difficulty and a stronger network hashrate as a curtailment eased. The transaction fees (always unpredictable) of the platform had also dipped from 1.4% in June to 1.1% in July.

However, on the bright side, MARA grew its energized hashrate from 57.4 EH/s to 58.9 EH/s. This proves that the company is still scaling up and doubling down on infrastructure, even though there are several challenges within the sector.

A Disciplined, Risk-Managed Approach

What sets MARA apart from passive bitcoin holders is its active, strategic mindset. The company does not just sit on its bitcoin, but instead it puts it to work. The company treats BTC as a productive, risk-managed asset, MARA uses a disciplined strategy to strengthen its balance sheet and help fund operations, aiming to increase long-term shareholder value in the process. This approach can be clearly seen in the company’s balance sheet. As of June 30, 2025, MARA has held over $5 billion in liquid assets. Since then, it’s raised nearly $1 billion more, giving it the capital flexibility to fuel domestic growth and push into international markets.

Global Scale and Future Prospects

MARA Holdings continues to stand out by combining large-scale operations with bold, forward-thinking leadership. It is not just about holding a massive stash of bitcoin, it is about using that asset to unlock real business value. The upcoming launch of its data centre at the Texas wind farm marks the next phase in MARA’s infrastructure growth, aligning with broader industry shift towards renewables and sustainable mining.
