Marathon Digital, one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies in the world, has just crossed a major threshold, now holding over 50,000 BTC in its treasury—an achievement that reflects its aggressive mining expansion and strategic focus on building long-term value through Bitcoin accumulation.
The company announced the milestone on social media, highlighting that its increased mining power, now surpassing 57 exahashes per second (EH/s), was key to reaching this level of reserves. This boost in computational strength not only supports its BTC production but also positions Marathon as a foundational player in the digital infrastructure being shaped across the U.S.
Marathon’s BTC stash, valued at approximately $5.47 billion, includes assets held directly, those under management, and others used as loan collateral. Despite this impressive figure, Marathon still trails Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which leads public companies with more than 597,000 BTC on its books. Strategy continues to aggressively accumulate coins, recently adding nearly 5,000 BTC in a single purchase.
Looking ahead, Marathon isn’t slowing down. The firm has set its sights on reaching 75 EH/s by the end of the year, a move that could significantly ramp up its mining capacity and reinforce its position as the second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder.

This milestone not only underscores Marathon’s commitment to Bitcoin but also signals growing institutional entrenchment in the digital asset space—where mining giants are rapidly becoming major custodians of value.
