Marathon’s CEO and chairman, Fred Thiel, expressed his optimism about the company’s future, especially in light of the upcoming Bitcoin halving event in April 2024, which is expected to boost the profitability of Bitcoin mining. He also highlighted the company’s strategic initiatives to expand its mining capacity, such as the new 27-megawatt hydro-powered mining facility in Paraguay, which was announced on the same day as the earnings report.

In addition, Marathon successfully reduced its long-term debt by 56% through a $417 million note exchange in September, which resulted in over $100 million in cash savings for shareholders. The company also maintained a strong balance sheet, with $1.7 billion in total assets and $1.4 billion in cash and Bitcoin holdings.

Marathon Digital Holdings is one of the largest and most efficient Bitcoin miners in North America, with a mission to become the most environmentally and socially responsible Bitcoin miner in the world. The company aims to further increase its hashrate to 26 EH/s by the end of 2023 and to 50 EH/s by the end of 2024.
