MARA has increased its bitcoin holdings to 52,477 BTC, valued at $5.9 billion, after mining 705 BTC in August. The company remains the largest bitcoin holder among public miners, accounting for 4.9% of all miner rewards during the period. Despite a 6.5% decline in bitcoin's price in August, MARA strategically added to its treasury and expanded its energized hashrate to 59.4 EH/s. The firm also acquired a majority stake in EDF's Exaion to enhance AI-driven infrastructure and opened its European headquarters in Paris. MARA's "full HODL" strategy reflects its long-term confidence in bitcoin as a reserve asset.
