MARA Reports Mixed Q3 Results

Despite the third quarter’s mixed results, with revenue up 92% to $252 million and net income flipping to $123 million, MARA’s treasury-heavy strategy leaves it vulnerable to crypto volatility.

Its quarterly earnings of 27 cents per share missed the consensus estimate of 44 cents by 38.22%.

The CEO highlighted the importance of electricity in BTC mining and AI during the earnings.

"We believe electrons are the new oil, and energy is becoming the defining resource of the digital economy. Just as oil fueled the industrial age, electricity now powers the digital one, and those who control abundant, low-cost energy hold the key to generating both value and intelligence. From Bitcoin mining to artificial intelligence (AI), every digital system requires energy to create economic output," Fred Thiel, CEO of MARA, said in a letter to shareholders.
