cover operating costs.

represents 16% of the company's total Bitcoin holdings. However, MARA did not
disclose the identities of the borrowers or further details about the lending

The company’s Vice President, Robert Samuels, stated the
yield from this lending activity is under 10%. The program has been active
throughout 2024, focusing on short-term agreements with established third
parties.
“There has been significant interest in MARA's bitcoin
lending program,” Samuels posted.
“It focuses on short-term arrangements with
well-established third parties. It generates a modest single-digit yield. It
has been active throughout 2024. The long-term objective is to generate
sufficient yield to offset operating expenses,” he shared.
MARA Sees 2% Decrease in December Bitcoin Production
In its production report, MARA noted a 2% decrease in Bitcoin production from November, with 890 BTC mined in December. This remains
the second-largest monthly production since April's reward halving. The company
also mined 249 blocks, the second-highest block count in a month.
MARA's 2024 bitcoin acquisition totaled 22,065 BTC at an
average price of $87,205, with 9,457 BTC mined. This brings its total holdings
to 44,893 BTC. The company's stock rose 2.60% in pre-market trading and is up
14% since the start of the year.
The company purchased 6,474 BTC at an average price of
$95,395 per coin, including 703 BTC from a recent acquisition. The move raised
its Bitcoin treasury to about 34,797 BTC, valued at $3.3 billion. MARA also
completed a $1 billion offering of 0% convertible senior notes due 2030 and a
partial buyback of 2026 notes.
