MARA Holdings Increases Bitcoin Holdings to 52,477 BTC, Plans EDF Stake Expansion

MARA Holdings reported mining 705 BTC in August 2025, maintaining steady production with 208 mined blocks and a 4.9% share of network rewards. The company's energized hashrate rose slightly to 59.4 EH/s, despite a global hashrate increase. MARA chose not to sell any Bitcoin during the month, growing its total holdings to over 52,000 BTC, reflecting confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value amid a price decline. Strategically, MARA is expanding internationally by opening its European headquarters in Paris and pursuing a majority stake acquisition in Exaion, a subsidiary of EDF, to integrate infrastructure with AI and edge computing solutions. The company is also on track to complete a Texas wind farm buildout, emphasizing sustainability and energy partnerships. Despite a 5% drop in its shares on the day of the report and a 14% decline year-to-date, MARA remains focused on operational efficiency and growth in the evolving cryptocurrency and energy sectors.
