MARA Holdings Reports 1% Decrease in Bitcoin Production for July
MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) reported a 1% decrease in Bitcoin production for July 2025, producing 703 bitcoins compared to 713 BTC in June. Key points include:
- Blocks won decreased by 2% month-over-month to 207.
- Average daily production fell from 23.8 to 22.7 BTC.
- Production decline attributed to a 9% increase in mining difficulty and recovery in global hashrate.
- MARA's energized hashrate increased by 3%, reaching 58.9 EH/s.
- Total Bitcoin holdings reached 50,639 BTC, positioning the company as the second-largest publicly traded Bitcoin treasury.
- Company strategy focuses on treating Bitcoin as a productive asset with plans for domestic growth and international expansion.
As of August 4, MARA shares traded at $15.90, up 2.6% for the day but down nearly 7.34% weekly. Over the past year, the stock has declined about 7%, underperforming both the S&P 500 and the broader crypto sector. The market cap is $5.89 billion.
Investor concerns about mining profitability are evident amid increasing mining difficulty. Since late 2024, MARA has been building its Bitcoin treasury and recently raised $950 million to purchase more Bitcoin. Despite production challenges, management emphasizes ongoing investments and efficiency improvements to manage future volatility in Bitcoin mining economics.
