What MARA does

One of the largest US bitcoin miners, operating large-scale mining facilities and holding bitcoin on its balance sheet.

Earns bitcoin as the reward for validating transactions, and keeps most of what it mines on its balance sheet instead of selling, so reported profit moves with the bitcoin price as much as with mining output. Many machines have sat in other companies' sites under hosting deals, though it has been buying sites and power to run its own.

Moat: none (scale). Among the largest miners by hash rate, but bitcoin mining economics are set by network difficulty and BTC price, not company-specific advantage.
