MARA Authorizes 2026 Sales of Balance-Sheet Bitcoin in SEC Filing

The move provides flexibility to fund operations under tighter post-halving economics.

Overview

  • The filing says MARA may sell Bitcoin from its balance sheet "from time to time" based on market conditions and capital allocation priorities.
  • The company ended 2025 holding about 53,822 BTC valued near $4.7 billion, with roughly 15,315 BTC deployed in asset-management strategies.
  • MARA’s 2025 production fell 7% to 8,799 BTC after the April 2024 halving cut rewards to 3.125 BTC and network difficulty increased.
  • Treasury activities added non-mining income, with around 9,377 BTC loaned generating about $32 million in interest and 5,938 BTC pledged against $350 million in credit facilities.
  • The strategy supports diversification into artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, including a 64% stake in Exaion and a data-center partnership with Starwood Capital Group.
