In the course of twelve months, Marathon Digital – a significant player in the Bitcoin mining industry – has seen a substantial upward trend in its stock price despite falling substantially from its all-time highs. At the moment, Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) is trading around $24.78, marking a considerable deviation (approximately 6.69 fold) from its record high of $166.40. Since the start of the year, the company’s stock has surged 628.82%. The all-time high reached around $166.40.
The uptrend aligns with two major events that are triggering speculation about the future price of Bitcoin. Firstly, ETF analysts are forecasting the potential endorsement of the Bitcoin ETF spot by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by January 10. Additionally, the Bitcoin halving, an event that happens approximately every four years, has typically sparked price surges, as the rate of new Bitcoin issuances is reduced by 50%. These events and the buzz they create could lead to a considerable inflow of investment, particularly if major companies like BlackRock and Grayscale are approved to offer these investments to their customers.
Moreover, Marathon Digital has recently detailed significant steps towards increasing its operational capacity. The company has entered a purchase agreement, securing two operational Bitcoin mining sites, which provide 390 megawatts of capacity. This agreement, valued at $178.6 million, signifies Marathon’s evolution from an asset-light organization to a company managing a diversified portfolio of Bitcoin mining operations. The past few months have not been without challenges. Reporting in September showed Marathon attributing a decrease in Bitcoin mining productivity in August to extreme weather conditions associated to record-high temperatures in Texas. Nevertheless, the long-term upward trajectory is clear.
