MARA Reports 2% Increase in Bitcoin Mining for October 2024; Transaction Fees Account for 5% of Total Production

Marathon Digital Holdings Reports Record Bitcoin Production in October, Targets 50 EH/s Hash Rate by Year-End

Marathon Digital Holdings, traded on NASDAQ under the ticker MARA, has released its unaudited Bitcoin production update for October 2024, showcasing a production total of 717 Bitcoin. This represents a modest 2% increase from September’s output, driven by the company's strategic scaling efforts and infrastructure enhancements. October marks Marathon's highest production month since Bitcoin's latest halving event in April, despite the challenging conditions in the mining landscape.

In October, Marathon achieved a 14% boost in its energy-driven hash rate, reaching an impressive 40.2 EH/s (exahashes per second). The strengthened capacity enabled the company to secure its position among the most prominent Bitcoin miners globally. However, Marathon faced a minor decline in block rewards, largely due to the rise in global hash rates and increasing mining difficulty. Nevertheless, transaction fees contributed approximately 5% to Marathon’s total Bitcoin production, underscoring the company's ability to adapt to evolving market conditions.

Two notable transactions during October further emphasized the impact of transaction fees on overall earnings. One transaction alone generated a fee of 3.217 BTC, while another yielded 2.665 BTC in fees. These fees reflect the heightened demand and network congestion, as more transactions are processed on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Fred Thiel, Marathon's Chairman and CEO, expressed confidence in the company's continued growth trajectory. "We believe we are on track to meet our goal of reaching a hash rate of 50 EH/s by the end of 2024," Thiel remarked. He attributed this optimism to ongoing installations of new mining rigs and critical infrastructure improvements, which are expected to further scale the company's mining capabilities.

With the year-end target of 50 EH/s, Marathon aims to further cement its industry-leading position amid an increasingly competitive Bitcoin mining environment. This target not only represents a significant technical achievement but also a crucial step toward Marathon's broader strategic objectives as it seeks to capitalize on opportunities in the rapidly evolving digital asset market.

As Marathon looks ahead, the company’s performance and strategic initiatives will be closely watched by stakeholders and the broader financial market, particularly as the global Bitcoin mining landscape continues to face challenges from rising energy costs, regulatory shifts, and technological advancements.
