Company Overview

Marathon Digital is a digital asset technology company that specializes in cryptocurrency mining, with a primary focus on Bitcoin. The company owns and operates one of the largest self-mining fleets in North America, deploying specialized computing equipment to validate transactions and secure blockchain networks. Marathon’s infrastructure strategy emphasizes scalability, operational efficiency and the integration of advanced cooling and power management systems to optimize mining performance.

Originally founded in 2010 as Marathon Patent Group, the business pivoted to cryptocurrency mining in late 2017 in response to the growing adoption of digital currencies. Since then, Marathon has expanded its capabilities through the acquisition of high-performance mining rigs and the development of proprietary data center facilities. The company’s listing on the NASDAQ under the symbol MARA underscores its evolution from intellectual property holdings to a pure-play digital asset miner.

Marathon’s operations are concentrated in regions with access to low-cost and low-carbon energy sources. Its mining sites span several U.S. jurisdictions, including facilities in Texas and Montana, where it has forged partnerships with energy providers to secure long-term power supply agreements. This geographic diversification aims to balance energy reliability, sustainability goals and regulatory compliance.

Under the leadership of CEO Fred Thiel, Marathon Digital pursues a strategy of continuous growth and technological innovation. The company’s management team combines expertise in blockchain technology, data center engineering and capital markets to advance its mission of becoming one of the most efficient and sustainable Bitcoin miners globally.
