A major leader in the digital energy and infrastructure, revealed that it successfully mined 208 blocks during the month, sustaining its performance from July, even with a 6% month-over-month rise in the global hashrate to 949 EH/s. The fact that MARA’s Bitcoin holdings grew to 52,477 BTC as of August 31, 2025, highlights the company’s calculated decision to strengthen its treasury in the face of falling Bitcoin prices.
The company produced 705 BTC in August, consistent with the production levels of the prior month. MARA’s average BTC production per day was 22.7, while its energized hashrate increased by 1% to 59.4 EH/s. An important event was the announcement by MARA that it will buy a 64% share in Exaion, a division of the massive French energy company, with the possibility of increasing ownership to 75% by 2027. This collaboration seeks to merge MARA’s technology framework with Exaion’s strengths to create solutions that lower processing expenses and improve edge infrastructure, crucial for bolstering the rapidly growing AI economy. The transaction is anticipated to conclude in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approval. Additionally, in an effort to fortify its position in the European market and expedite its global expansion, MARA has set up its European headquarters in Paris.
The expansion highlights MARA’s dedication to establishing energy partnerships that enhance power grid stability and utilize surplus energy effectively. In August, MARA’s portion of available miner rewards held firm at 4.9%, whereas transaction fees represented 0.8% of total rewards, showing a minor decline from the prior month. The company chose to refrain from selling any BTC throughout the month, demonstrating its approach to gather digital assets. The goals of MARA’s operational strategy are to ensure sustainable growth and maximize efficiency.
The company is actively improving its infrastructure, especially at its Texas wind farm, where all miners and containers are currently operational, with full operations anticipated by Q4 2025. This announcement arrives during a wider movement in cryptocurrency mining, as firms aim to leverage digital technologies to improve energy efficiency and take advantage of the rising demand for blockchain applications.
