MARA Holdings, a major Bitcoin miner, spent $4.3M on CEO Fred Thiel's security in 2025, including an armored vehicle. This reflects a global rise in physical attacks on crypto executives, with France reporting a significant number of incidents.
MARA, mineur de Bitcoin coté, annonce une perte nette de 1,3 milliard de dollars au Q1 2026, due à la chute du cours du BTC, malgré une augmentation de 33% de son hashrate.
MARA Holdings says Bitcoin mining remains the company’s “operational foundation” while it moves to expand into AI.
The new lawsuit targets MARA’s Granbury site as cryptocurrency mining companies pivot to providing AI infrastructure.
MARA Holdings announced the MARA Foundation at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas to support Bitcoin network health and communities relying on it for financial sovereignty. The foundation will focus on hardening Bitcoin against quantum computing threats, expanding self-custodial BTC access, and supporting fee market development. Starting with a $100,000 contribution fund, the public will vote on which of three Bitcoin companies receives the funds: 256 Foundation, Libreria de Satoshi, or SafeNet.
